CONSERVATIVES WOULD KILL HOUSE ARREST, SCRAP LIBERAL PLAN TO
DECRIMINALIZE MARIJUANA
Conservative leader Stephen Harper released his party's plan to crack
down on drug crimes.
He promised on Saturday to impose mandatory minimum sentences,
eliminate conditional sentences such as house arrest, bring in tougher
fines for drug traffickers and producers, scrap Liberal plans to
decriminalize marijuana and introduce a national drug strategy
targeted at youth.
The Tory approach to drug crimes would slap mandatory minimum
sentences of at least two years for trafficking drugs such as heroin,
cocaine and crystal meth.
It would also apply the same penalties to similar offences involving
bulk amounts of marijuana or hashish. Fines for trafficking or
producing drugs would escalate for repeat offences.
