CCLA Challenges Ford’s Bail Rules | Ottawa News
Description
The Canadian Civil Liberties Association is launching a major Charter challenge against Ontario’s new bail rules, which now require sureties to post cash deposits within two days — a move critics say creates a cash-rich vs. cash-poor justice system and violates federal constitutional rights. The CCLA argues these provincial regulations overstep their authority and undermine the right to reasonable bail, echoing past legal battles that have forced the Ford government to retreat on other controversial policies. With a formal challenge set to begin next week, the case could reshape bail procedures across the province — and test the limits of provincial power in criminal justice.
