One of the perceived front-runners in the race to replace Conservative Leader Scheer, Mr. MacKay, seen here in Stellarton, N.S., on Jan. 25, 2020, served as foreign minister, justice minister and defence minister under Harper.Peter MacKay says he “will never apologize” for a Harper-era law that was struck down, and found to be cruel and unusual punishment by the country’s top court.
The legislation, however, “took away any and all discretion” from judges and had “odd features" that meant someone convicted of murder could be fined less than a person with several minor breaches, Queen’s University assistant law professor Lisa Kerr said. The court found that the surcharge treated the poor “more harshly,” and could further disadvantage and stigmatize them.
She said it’s ironic that the rights bill gave “unfettered discretion” to agencies charged with implementing those rights “without redress if they fail to do so,” while in the case of the surcharge, judges were given no discretion in how it was applied.
