Second reading (House), as of April 9, 2008

This is from the published bill. The Library of Parliament often publishes better independent summaries.
The purpose of this enactment is to ensure that a person accused of committing a serious personal injury offence is not granted bail as a result of an agreement between the prosecutor and defence counsel without the judge being fully informed of all of the evidence in the possession of the prosecution that is relevant to the release of the accused, including all relevant information respecting the alleged offence and its circumstances.
All sorts of information on this bill is available at LEGISinfo, an excellent resource from the Library of Parliament. You can also read the full text of the bill.
