Quebec's justice minister called the federal government's omnibus crime bill a "Band-Aid solution" Tuesday and said his province will refuse to absorb the added costs associated with it.

    Good for you Quebec! I'm from Alberta and wish we'd follow suit. This bill is nothing but a massive waste of time and money.

    Good, just cut their transfer payments by the amount the bill would have cost them and everythings square.

    The welfare check from the ROC will only be lower next year.

    Good luck with that Quebec. I don't recall Alberta being given the option to not pay for the gun registry. Whiners.

    If whining is an art, then Quebec is the Pablo Picasso of Canada.

    Ontario has also said it will not pay. So leave off the Quebec bashing and consider the Bill and its import.

    Fair enough.

    Just cut theirs and Quebecs transfer payments by the amount the bill would have cost them and everythings square. R=UP

    It's amazing what one can see when one reads the full article ;-)

    Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty also said Tuesday that his province is unwilling to pick up the tab for the costs of the omnibus crime bill that will fall to the provinces.

    So sorry, I read this story on other sites without that bit of information.

    this is just posturing, when it comes to federal law, they have no choice. This is just more of the opposition for the sake of it.

    For all those clowns that don't support the new laws, explain to me why over the last decade EVERY province has been complaining about the 'revolving door' of the justice system?

    Criminals on parole killing, rape, etc etc, ask the police how they feel about arresting the same asshole for the same or very similar offence week after week (aka drugs). I get sick and tired of hearing how another person was killed, attacked etc by a person on parole, how many times do you want to put the public at risk for the sake of a serious (and more often REPEAT) offender??

    Sorry, it's time for some stiffening up, we have half a century of evidence that sometimes you just can't rehabilitate. It's all fine and dandy to scream mercy on criminals UNTIL a convicted criminal commits a serious crime against your own family!

    While I don't agree that they should be allowed to 'opt out', so to speak, he does make some good points.

    Jean-Marc Fournier, testifying at the House of Commons justice and human rights committee, said Bill C-10 will wind up causing more crime, not less, because it is an unbalanced piece of legislation that doesn't focus enough on the rehabilitation of criminals, particularly young offenders.

    He said the legislation is meant to put more people in jail and that will result in higher recidivism rates unless more is done to get at the root causes of criminality and to successfully reintegrate offenders into society so they can go on to lead productive lives.
