The Supreme Court of Canada recently ruled against some of the former Tory government's tough-on-crime laws. The Supreme Court ruled against a mandatory minimum sentence of one year for drug traffickers who have a previous trafficking conviction.

It also struck down a provision that denied extra credit for time in custody before a trial for people denied bail because of a criminal record.

Portage-Lisgar MP Candice Bergen says she still believes in the laws passed by the former Harper government.

"Our policies that we introduced reflected that we wanted to see victims at the forefront, not the criminal at the forefront of the justice system,” she said. “I still am very happy that we did that and we now have to keep pushing the Liberal government so that they don't change things back to the old way."

She notes people are becoming frustrated with the idea of a judge ruling against a law that was passed by elected Members of Parliament.

"I will say frankly I respectfully disagree with some judges opinions and their decisions,” she said. “I have to respect the outcome but I think I, and there are many, many Canadians that are getting frustrated with some of the judges' decisions."
