The Crime Bill

When i first read the proposal for the new omnibus legislative bill, i thought that it sounded great. The fact that there would be tougher sentencing laws for young offender, drug dealers, and sexual preditors would make it alot safer on our streets. People might give it a second thought before breaking the law because of the harsh concequences. There would also be more job opportunity's to take care of the influx of inmates. But then again, canadians would be paying more taxes to pay for the influx of inmates. Also, the fact that the government hasn't presented the budget for this is alittle weird. If the government just came out with the budget more people might be on board with this bill and be able to make a decision about weather it is nessecary or not.
