Bail should include both repeat and violent offenders.
We have trends happening across this country with increases in property crimes, whether they be organized retail theft rings or otherwise, fraud or crimes that are victimizing Canadians. It should apply to repeat and violent offenders.
The number of people incarcerated and awaiting trial is not necessarily indicative of the bail process. It can also be indicative of a lack of deterrence in sentencing. You need to look at the two in concert. We need to deter the crime in the first place and, when they are convicted, have strong enough sentences that we do not have repeats.
