Yes or No Paul Bernardo Karla Homolka
History • Between 1892 and 1961, the penalty for all murders in Canada was death by hanging. In 1961, an act of Parliament divided murder into capital and non-capital categories. • In 1976, capital punishment was removed from the Canadian legal system and the maximum sentence was changed to life imprisonment.
