The Liberals promised a suite of crime measures. Here's what they're taking on
- The minority Liberal government announced new crime policies on May 24, 2025, in Ottawa, focusing on tougher bail and new offences.
- These policies respond to Conservative campaigns criticizing previous Liberal 'hug-a-thug' approaches, with Conservatives promising mandatory life sentences.
- The Liberals pledged stricter bail laws with reverse onus for violent car thefts, home invasions, human trafficking, and new offences for intimidation and online sexploitation.
- Experts noted the policies target serious offenders while preserving judicial discretion; some measures, such as criminalizing deepfakes, received praise as necessary reforms.
- Justice Minister Sean Fraser and Secretary Ruby Sahota will oversee these initiatives, though observers question which policies will be prioritized amid accusations of performative actions.
