The Justice Minister Doug Schweitzer, gave follow up from the public input gathered over the summer months. The province is rolling out a number of key initiatives that should, if handled properly, reinforce property rights, deter crime, improve response time, and give victims a stronger voice in the justice system.
It is the responsibility of government to protect its citizens and establish justice. It is encouraging to see this new administration increase efforts being made in this direction. One can’t legislate away the social ills that have plagued society over time, however, we can create an environment where it is discouraged. Hopefully we as citizens can do our part in maintaining stable homes, teaching good morals, and creating communities where hurting people can get help without being shamed.
The details of this plan can be found on the alberta.ca website.
