Okay. Good.
The CAEFS network is made up of 23 local member societies all across the country. They do the essential on-the-ground work of supporting the most marginalized people in their communities. Many of them have bail beds, but most of them don't. That's a problem.
We don't have Elizabeth Fry Societies in the north of Canada. There are very few resources for people who could be released on bail into their communities in the north, particularly, because those are people who may need a place to stay. They may need to have a bed to stay in, in order for them to be released on bail.
It may actually surprise you to learn that there are only four bail beds for women in Canada's most populous city, Toronto. Those beds are available to indigenous women only. For the most populous city to have no bail beds for women is a problem. Then, if you go into the northern part of Ontario, for example, we have a couple of Elizabeth Fry Societies that have bail beds, but they don't have adequate resources to meet the demand. Certainly more resources for bail beds would go a long way for the people we work with.
