Bailey McCourt的家人在她前夫在保释后数小时杀害了她之后敦促加强法律。 总理保证采取更多行动。 Bailey McCourt’s family urges stronger laws after her ex-husband killed her hours after bail; B.C. Premier promises more action.

Bailey McCourt的家人是Kelowna的前夫保释后几小时被她丈夫杀害的一位妇女,她表示失望的是,B.C.的国民民主党政府不支持C-225号法案或Bailey法,后者自动将亲密伴侣杀害列为一级谋杀。 The family of Bailey McCourt, a Kelowna woman murdered by her ex-husband hours after his release on bail, expressed disappointment that B.C.’s NDP government did not support Bill C-225, or Bailey’s Law, which would automatically classify intimate partner killings as first-degree murder. 虽然受B. C. 倡导影响的联邦保释改革立法现在包括了保释和更严厉惩罚的反向责任,但McCourt家族和批评家都说这不符合他们的要求。 While federal bail reform legislation, influenced by B.C.’s advocacy, now includes a reverse onus for bail and tougher penalties, the McCourt family and critics say it falls short of their demands. 总理大卫·埃比承认这些差距并承诺继续进行宣传,预计到年底,联邦将就亲密伴侣暴力制定进一步的立法。 Premier David Eby acknowledged the gaps and pledged continued advocacy, with further federal legislation on intimate partner violence expected by year’s end.
