Petition Launched against Bill C-10

A petition is being circulated to try and get the federal government to make some changes to its Safe Streets Act.

Kenora lawyer Peter Kirby has been outspoken about Bill C-10.

He says he's particularly concerned that it will take away the discretion of judges to provide alternate sentencing options.

Kirby appeared the Commons Justice Committee earlier this month to talk about his concerns and is urging local residents to visit his office to sign the petition.
