Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre said he would permit police and judges to have more authority to dismantle tent cities, if elected.
According to Poilievre, a Conservative government would amend the Criminal Code to allow police to lay charges against people who violate the right to safety in public spaces, known as the Safe Streets and Communities Act.
“No more excuses by politicians, claiming they don’t have the powers, the powers will be right there in the Criminal Code,” said Poilievre in Hamilton, Ont. Wednesday.
