Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Hello to all the witnesses. Thank you for being here for what is probably our last meeting on the matter.
Mr. Arnet-Zagarian, I have concerns about public safety issues and the constitutional right to bail.
British Columbia's attorney general recently issued a directive to amend the B.C. prosecution service's policy on bail. Among the key changes to the policy is the removal of a provision advising Crown counsel not to seek detention unless an appropriate sentence upon conviction would include incarceration.
I would like to hear your thoughts on that: will this improve the bail system?
