An Act to amend the Criminal Code and the Corrections and Conditional Release Act (conditions of release and conditional sentences)
Bill C-325 (44-1) was a Conservative Private Member's Bill from Pierre Paul-Hus (Charlesbourg-Haute-Saint-Charles) to amend the Criminal Code and the Corrections and Conditional Release Act. It would have created a new offence for breaching the conditions of a conditional release tied to certain serious offences and required those breaches to be reported to the appropriate authorities. The bill was part of the Conservative push on bail and release rules, brought amid public concern over repeat violent offenders committing crimes while on release. It did not pass second reading.
