It mirrors an already tabled piece of legislation, but without some clauses that had sparked concerns from opposition parties and civil liberties groups. Public safety minister, Gary and Anda Sangeri, says the changes were made after months of consultations. We felt that essentially putting forward a... second bill that carves out the more contentious elements of Bill C2 will enable us to get

swift or passage of the ballot. Those contentious elements allowed Canada Post to open mail and law enforcement to access some digital data. Both the Conservatives and the NDP refused to support the original bill. They said the so-called Strong Borders Act overstepped its stated aims and infringed on Canadians' freedoms. There's a new list out of Canada's 25 most wanted criminals, and police are using a new tactic to get people's attention. It's the latest initiative of what they call the Bolo Program, which stands for Be on the Lookout. Jamie Strassion reports. Look at their faces. Be on the lookout for them.

Behind Maxime Langois, executive director of the Bolo program, 25 police officers, their face covered with images of Canada's 25 most wanted suspects. To make this as real as possible, the physical traits of each model, behind me matches the fugitive that he or she is portraying. The Bolo program is offering hundreds of thousands of dollars for information that leads to the capture of 25 men and women alleged to have committed serious crimes across the country. Dwayne McDonald is the deputy commissioner of the BC RCMP. You won't be asked about the crime that they're wanted for.

You won't be asked for a statement or to testify in court. We don't care if you know them. We don't care if you simply pass them on the street. Number one on the list, Brian Fuentes Grameo, wanted for a murder that. took place in the parking lot of a busy Toronto shopping mall last July. Since its inception, Bolo has assisted in dozens of arrests. Jamie Strasch and CBC News, Toronto. Sexual assault charges against Peter Nygaard have been stayed by a Manitoba judge.

These are charges relating to allegations stemming from an incident in Winnipeg in the 1990s. Nygaard's lawyer argued he was denied the right to a fair trial. That's because the officers who interviewed the woman at the center of the case failed to retain records. This morning, a judge agreed. The former fashion mogul is already serving prison time after being found guilty of four counts of sexual assault in Ontario. Authorities in California have arrested a 29-year-old man for starting one of the worst wildfires in the state's history. They say Jonathan Rindernecht started a fire in the Los Angeles-Pacific Palisades neighborhood on January 1st. The fire smoldered underground for days before spreading

above ground. The blaze went on to consume thousands of buildings and kill 12 people. Evidence against Rinder Neck includes an image of a burning city that he generated with CHATGPT. And former FBI director James Comey accuses Donald Trump of unfairly targeting him in court. Comies pleaded not guilty to criminal charges that stem from his congressional testimony in 2020. His indictments sparked fierce political debate. Willie Lowry reports. James Comey will get his day in court. Court. The trial for the former FBI director will kick off on January 5th. On Wednesday, Comey pleaded not guilty to one charge of providing a false statement and one charge of

obstruction of a congressional proceeding. Comey was indicted shortly after President Donald Trump implored Attorney General Pam Bondi on social media to take action against his perceived political enemies. Trump has long been frustrated by Comey, who led the initial investigation in to Russian interference in the 2016 election. Todd Blanche, the Deputy Attorney General, told Fox News, the Justice Department, is merely following the law. We completely got rid of the weaponization that took place over the past four years in this Department of Justice, and now we are applying the law equally to everybody.

If convicted, Comey faces up to five years in prison. Willie Lowry, CBC News, Washington. And that is your world this hour. I'm Kate McGilfrey. Thank you.
