Wynn's Law not likely to pass
Two Edmonton-area MPs are rejecting Wynn's Law — legislation intended to make it tougher for criminals to get bail.
Bill S-217 will likely not pass third reading in the House of Commons after the Liberal-dominated justice and human rights committee found the bill would create more delays in the court system
Cooper said the loophole "cost Const. Wynn his life when he was murdered by a career criminal who was out on bail because that career criminal's history was not presented at a bail hearing."
Shawn Rehn, who shot Wynn at the Apex Casino in St. Albert, had previously been convicted of 68 criminal offences and faced 27 outstanding charges.
