Thank you for that, Minister.
You also spoke about a number of initiatives the provinces are taking.
In November, British Columbia told Crown prosecutors to begin asking judges to refuse bail for repeat violent offenders awaiting trial on new violence or gun-related charges. Can you tell us if any other provinces or territories have implemented the same policies?
As well, in your opinion, when you meet on Friday with the provincial and territorial ministers, what would you be telling them? What can provinces and territories do further to complement the federal government's action on bail?
