Critical Analysis — What This Bill Actually Does
Largest Criminal Code reform in decades. Eliminated peremptory challenges in jury selection (removing the ability to reject jurors without cause), reclassified many indictable offences as hybrid, and changed preliminary inquiry availability. While framed as modernization and efficiency, the elimination of peremptory challenges fundamentally altered the right to jury selection that existed since Confederation.
