Re: Please stop Omnibus

Dear Member of Parliament,

As a voter and one of your constituents, I want to clearly express to you my concerns with and opposition to Bill C-10 – the omnibus crime bill.

This legislation is severely flawed. While there are parts of the Bill that are indeed worthwhile, I believe many of the others will undermine our justice system.

I do not believe a teenager charged with possessing over five marijuana plants, even if the police allege they were for the purpose of trafficking, should be treated more harshly than someone charged with sexually molesting a child.

In Canada we have a correctional system, not a penal system. I do not believe mandatory minimum sentences serve the best interests of justice. This legislation will fill our jails with people who should not be in jail.

I have seen the news reports from the United States. I know this approach to justice has been tried there, and it has failed.

Furthermore, as a taxpayer, I am very concerned with what this legislation is going to cost me. Each new prisoner will cost an additional $108,000 per year of my money. I understand the new prisons that will need to be built to house these extra prisoners will also cost billions more. In this time of deficits, this is not how I want my government to spend my money.

As my representative in Parliament, I am therefore calling on you now to faithfully respect the wishes of your constituents and vote against Bill C-10.

Sincerely,

Your contact info provided below will be appended to the letter.
