Thank you, Chair.
Welcome, Commissioner. It's always a pleasure to have you attend at committee. I'm looking forward to your evidence. I'll get right to it.
Unfortunately, the most recent events have not only been tragic and disturbing but also in my view galvanized public opinion. This has galvanized police services. It has galvanized police services, police associations, police chiefs, advocacy groups and the Canadian public. There is a serious problem with the bail system here in Canada. Would you agree with me, sir, given your recent statements in the last few weeks?
You've been extremely critical of our bail system. Do you agree, Commissioner, that our system is broken?
