Bill C-10 will hit Nunavut hard, Shewchuk tells senators

This is a comment from a prison guard:

"We all want safe streets and safe communities.

But in the short term, the only way to implement bill C-10 in Nunavut is to declare Nunavut to be a prison. Then take away the travel documents of those who are convicted so they can’t leave the prison until their sentence has been served."

Dan Shewchuk, the Nunavut justice minister, told the Senate legal affairs committee Feb. 2 that Bill C-10, the Conservative government’s omnibus crime bill, will create big costs and other problems for Nunavut’s justice and correctional systems.

Bill C-10, known as the Safe Streets and Communities Act, would amend the Criminal Code, the Youth Criminal Justice Act and other federal laws to limit the use of conditional sentencing, create more mandatory minimum sentences and make the youth justice law more tough.
