Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Minister, for being here.
In your opening remarks, you spoke mainly about preventing repeat offences and providing rehabilitation. You didn't mention the bail system or your examination of the system in conjunction with Mr. Lametti until the end. I thought you were somewhat evasive about your examination of the bail system, so I'd like you to talk more about that.
Let's assume that, in order to find the right solution to a problem, you have to be able to identify the problem correctly. Tell us, if you would, about what you've already identified as problems. Just to be clear, when I say problems, I don't mean the overrepresentation of indigenous populations or the release of offenders who go on to commit crimes. Those are outcomes, symptoms of the problem, if you will.
I'd like you to talk about the problems you have identified in the bail system.
