Yes, I would.
In that case, I believe, the letter was—if you like—spearheaded by Premier Ford, although, as I said, it was signed by every premier. It followed on the tragic death we referenced of the Ontario Provincial Police officer. Everyone acknowledged that was a particularly tragic symbol and reality of the bail situation in the country. I think the sense, in writing that letter, and also among ministers who went to Ottawa 10 days ago, is that, if the bail system isn't broken, it's getting close to being broken.
Bill C-75 in 2019, which is obviously relatively recent, was something that swung the pendulum too far. There needs to be a correction. Of course, everyone understands the underpinnings of the presumption of innocence, the reasons for bail and issues around remand and overpopulation. All those things are top of mind and of concern.
I think it's fair to say the ministers felt—and the premiers in penning their letter—that particularly around Bill C-75 and the “principle of restraint” language that it codified.... The language is very clear that it codifies. Tragically, in the case of the Ontario Provincial Police officer, dealing pre-that with the bail release, some of those precise sections arose and had to be grappled with by the judge. We know, in this case, there was a pretty tragic outcome.
