Ontario is asking Ottawa for a series of specific measures to tighten bail and sentencing rules, as the federal government gets closer to tabling legislation to reform those aspects of the justice system.
A joint letter sent Monday by the province's solicitor general and attorney general urges the federal government to ensure the reforms are meaningful and sweeping.
"We are writing to convey Ontarians' expectation for comprehensive and wholesale solutions, rather than tinkering around the edges," Michael Kerzner and Doug Downey wrote.
