I'll share the same advice I shared with the Minister of Justice in June when I was up here with Chief Duraiappah. I said that we all have to own our areas of responsibility, and it doesn't help when we're all finger-pointing each other, whether it's the municipal government, the provincial government or the federal government. Frankly, I think we look a little immature when we're in that finger-pointing stage.
We just need to fix this. Residents don't care what level of government does it. They just want to see a system they feel and see is broken be addressed. I know that Ottawa has a partisan and confrontational dynamic, and that's our parliamentary system, but I believe this legislation on bail reform was needed 10 years ago, and the fact that it's happening now is good news.
