Bill S-4 – An Act to amend the Criminal Code and the Identification of Criminals Act and to make related amendments to other Acts (COVID-19 response and other measures)
This is a very long Bill with a fairly simple premise: Update the criminal justice system to line up with what we learned from the COVID pandemic, mostly in terms of allowing for more remote options in the process and lessening the requirements for people to be physically present. These changes should also help reduce the delays in the system.
