The bail backlash

from Front Burner

As Ottawa prepares to tighten bail laws across the country, we take a documentary look at how the issue has become a focal point of Canadian anxiety around crime and ask what might change with Bill C-14, legislation the Prime Minister has called “arguably the most aggressive tightening of the criminal code seen in decades.”For transcripts of Front Burner, please visit: https://www.cbc.ca/radio/frontburner/transcripts
