Using the Notwithstanding clause to fix our justice system: Peter Copeland and Ryan Alford

Welcome to Inside Policy Talks, the premier video podcast of the Macdonald-Laurier Institute.

In this episode, Peter Copeland, Deputy Director of MLI's Domestic Program, is joined by Ryan Alford, a professor of law and MLI Senior Fellow. They delve into the pressing issues surrounding mandatory minimums and the evolving landscape of criminal justice reform in Canada.

They examine the implications of recent court rulings on mandatory minimums and the ongoing speculation regarding the use of the Notwithstanding Clause in response to perceived judicial overreach.

The conversation further explores the broader implications of crime trends in Canada, including the rising rates of violent crime and the challenges that both federal and provincial governments face in addressing public safety concerns.
