Victims may gain voice in sentencing reform
Federal justice minister Mark MacGuigan outlined amendments to the Criminal Code to let crime victims write pre sentence reports for judges. The move aims to reflect victims losses and feelings in sentencing with judge consideration alongside established penalties. Victims groups welcomed the proposal as a victory, while cautioning for formal avenues to appeal after conviction. The Canadian Bar Association also urged stronger victim rights as part of the reform.
