As stated earlier, I believe that the time is now to make additional changes. I appreciate the attempts that were made in Bill C-48. We know the data does show that there are more people out on bail today, in many jurisdictions, than there were pre-Bill C-48.
We also need to get to the qualitative pieces of it, not just the quantitative, to determine, “Are we making the right decisions around bail? Are we truly protecting Canadians?” The time to act is now, and I think we've never been in a better position to achieve real results that prioritize public safety.
