Summary
A Conservative private member’s bill named after Bailey McCourt, a 32-year-old mother of two killed in a Kelowna parking lot in July 2025 is making its way through the Senate. Her estranged husband has been charged with first-degree murder. The legislation proposes changes to the criminal code; making the killing of an intimate partner an automatic first-degree murder charge; empowering courts to hold individuals charged with domestic assault for up to seven days for a risk assessment if there are red flags; and changing bail rules for those with a previous domestic violence conviction.
