Bill C-6

Bill C-6 is a piece of Canadian legislation that aims to amend the Criminal Code related to the mandatory minimum penalties for certain offenses. Specifically, it seeks to eliminate or reduce mandatory minimum sentences for specific drug-related crimes and other offenses. The bill is designed to allow judges more discretion in sentencing, promoting a more rehabilitative approach to justice rather than strictly punitive measures. Its goal is to address issues of systemic inequality and to support those with addictions, emphasizing the need for treatment over imprisonment in certain cases.
