Mayor, you're not alone in this, in that we've seen all 13 premiers from across the country—they involve every party; this is not a partisan issue—at the provincial level, calling on the federal government to play its part in addressing what I consider to be a broken bail system. It's one that would allow repeat, violent offenders, particularly when it involves gun crime, to be back on the streets of your community and others across the country.
Your police have done research. They've looked at some of the individuals. You said it in a way that it hasn't been said before. We rely on most people doing the right thing in Canada. No one is suggesting at this committee—that I've heard—that most people are doing the wrong thing. What we're saying is that there's a small number that has to be addressed, but that small number can have devastating consequences, for example, with Constable Pierzchala, who was killed over the recent holidays.
Do you want to speak a bit more to some of the suggestions or data that were provided around the prolific offenders you find in your community and what we can do to address that at the federal level?
