Nova Scotia’s Attorney General and Minister of Justice calls the Supreme Court’s decision to strike down mandatory sentences for people convicted of child pornography offences “deeply troubling”. Scott Armstrong says Nova Scotians should be able to expect that sentences for those who commit horrible crimes will protect the public and not leave victims feeling more vulnerable. He says he will be sharing Nova Scotia’s “grave concerns” with his federal counterpart and urges the federal government to take action to ensure the justice system continues to protect the most vulnerable.
