Read Prime Minister Office Press Release

Today, at a press conference in Toronto, Prime Minister Mark Carney announced plans to introduce legislation next week amending the Criminal Code to address crimes committed by violent and repeat offenders—specifically those accused of serious offences such as violent auto theft, breaking and entering, human trafficking, violent assault, and sexual assault.

The OPP Association in collaboration with our policing stakeholders have long advocated for change, and we believe this announcement is a positive step forward.

We look forward to reviewing, along with our stakeholders, the proposed amendments in detail to ensure the safety of our members and the communities we serve.
