Justice Minister David Lametti tables legislation to reform bail system

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:31:20 GMT

OTTAWA — Justice Minister David Lametti introduced new legislation Tuesday morning to reform Canada’s bail system, after months of calls for tougher laws from premiers, police and opposition. Lametti’s update to the law aims to deal with repeat violent offenders and offences involving firearms and other dangerous weapons.The bill’s text says the proposed changes will create new reverse-onus bail conditions for people charged with serious violent offences involving a weapon who were convicted in the last five years of a similar offence.It will also add certain firearms offences to existing reverse-onus provisions, and expand them for offences involving intimate partner violence.While the burden of proof usually rests on prosecutors to convince judges why offenders should stay behind bars, this means that in some cases, the offender will be the one who has to prove in court why they should be released on bail. Lametti was scheduled to hold a news conference later in ...

Rent, mortgage interest helped drive inflation higher in April: Statistics Canada

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:31:20 GMT

OTTAWA — The first increase in annual inflation since its June 2022 peak was driven in part by higher mortgage interest costs and higher rent prices, Statistics Canada said Tuesday. Mortgage interest costs were up 28.5 per cent in April compared with a year ago as a result of the Bank of Canada raising interest rates at a breakneck pace over the past year. That’s up from 26.4 per cent in March and 23.9 per cent in February. Meanwhile, inflation for rent was 6.1 per cent year over year, up from 5.3 per cent in April. That’s despite overall shelter costs rising at a slower pace in April, at 4.9 per cent. The year-over-year increase in the homeowners’ replacement cost index also slowed for the 12th consecutive month, which Statistics Canada says reflects a general cooling of the housing market. A report by RBC Economics says shelter was the largest contributor to headline inflation in April, accounting for a third of the growth. The central bank’s interest-rate hikes ...

ROME (AP) — Rivers swollen by days of downpours flooded some towns in northern Italy on Tuesday, while in Venice, authorities were preparing to activate a mobile barrier in the lagoon in hopes of sparing the city from high-tide flooding, which would be rare in May. In the tourist town of Ravenna in northeast Italy, authorities urged residents to move to upper stories of buildings to ride out the storm. In Riccione, a beach town on the Adriatic Sea, the mayor warned people to stay home as some took to rubber dinghies to navigate streets. In Venice, the barrier system, known by its acronym MOSES, and recalling the Biblical account of the Red Sea parting, will be lifted Tuesday night for the first time ever in May. It is nearly 20 years to the day when construction on the project, which is still not officially completed, began.Firefighters in Riccione, in the northern region of Emilia-Romagna, were deployed to rescue people from flooded homes and businesses.
