Support Bail Reform
You can honor Andrew & Zachary by writing Canadian Parliament in support of a law denying bail to people accused of murder while awaiting trial.
While people charged with a crime are innocent until proven guilty, presumption of innocence should not be stretched so far as to allow an actual murderer to repeat his/her crime while awaiting trial. We propose that this pre-trial detention period for accused murderers be conducted with minimal hardship and liberal visitation rights, and with the courts speeding this process along as quickly as is practical.
We encourage you to address Parliament by expressing your passionate feelings on this subject in your own unique words, explaining why and how you came to write to them, but if you need some help, some issues to consider addressing in your letter are provided HERE (Microsoft Word Document).
