Speak Out Against the Tough on Crime Omnibus Bill C-2
Oct 30th, 2007
Message from Kim Pate, Executive Director of the Canadian Association of Elizabeth Fry Societies.
Hello Everyone!We are urging you to please encourage your respective constituencies, classes, et cetera, to write to their Member of Parliament (look up your local Member of Parliament online, the Ministers of Justice and Public Safety, the opposition leaders and critics , as well as the Prime Minister (all of their contact details follow) to let them know that:
1. the proposed new legislation is not only unnecessary because all of the behaviours that the government professes to be addressing with this omnibus bill are already addressed by laws that are currently in effect;
2.. we are not fooled by these sorts of 'smoke and mirrors' approaches aimed at creating a public impression that the government is responding to a public need, when, in fact, they are creating or perpetuating a false impression that there is a need for such repetitive, albeit more harsh, laws;3. the measures being proposed are unnecessary and it is a waste of hard-working taxpayers' money to use up public and government time and resources to develop new laws, when the monies could be better spent on services that will benefit Canadians;
4. we don't accept yet more focus on longer and more punitive sentences at the expense of public education, health care, and social services; and 5. the government must stop using prisons as substitutes for mental health
services, public housing or shelters for women escaping violence; we object to the
government misleading the public as part of what the Prime Minister has described
as the "game of politics".
