Since the FPT two weeks ago, we've released an updated provincial bail policy. That builds on existing practice. It builds on existing policies that Crown prosecutors must, of course, already consider—where public safety is at risk, including high-risk offences and those involving intimate partner violence, children, vulnerable adults and so on—and, of course, while respecting prosecutorial discretion above all. I have also requested, and B.C. did something similar in November, that the new policy explicitly emphasize that, where any of the conditions for refusing bail are met, prosecutors should advocate for the detention of repeat violent offenders, in particular, awaiting trial. That's one area we have built on.
