NEW GLASGOW, NOVA SCOTIA–(Marketwired – Nov. 30, 2013) – The Honourable Peter MacKay, Minister of Justice, today met with justice advocates to discuss the amendments proposed in the Not Criminally Responsible Reform Act. The Act would ensure that public safety comes first in the decision-making process with respect to accused persons found Not Criminally Responsible (NCR) or unfit to stand trial on account of mental disorder. The proposed legislation would also enhance the safety of victims and promote greater victim involvement when they so choose.
