Description
February Ottawa The federal government introduced Bill C–83, a "peace and security" bill intended to clamp down on violent crime. It also dealt with the question of "dangerous sexual offenders," proposing to remove the term from the Canadian Criminal Code without in any way changing the system of indefinite confinement for "dangerous sexual offenders." The National Gay Rights Coalition/Coalition nationale pour les droits des homosexuels (NGRC/CNDH) denounced the bill, reiterating its support for the repeal of legislation providing for indefinite confinement of "dangerous sexual offenders" and calling for a review of all such cases. (See also March 9, 1976, and May 12, 1976.)
