What Changed Under the 2026 Bail and Sentencing Reform Act?
Canada’s Bail and Sentencing Reform Act introduced important changes to bail and sentencing rules in 2026.
In this video, we explain expanded reverse-onus bail provisions, new factors courts may consider when deciding whether an accused should be released, changes affecting sureties and release plans, and new sentencing considerations for certain repeat violent offences.
The new rules do not affect every accused person in the same way. The exact charge, criminal history, outstanding allegations, and circumstances of the case can all matter.
