If I can answer that question, I think it is a real challenge to ensure that the laws, as enacted, are applied as intended. I talked a bit about how we're trying to support that work.
We have heard over the last number of years—going back to Bill C-75, then to Bill C-48 and now to Bill C-14—that there is a constant need to continue to calibrate the bail system within the confines of what is possible in Canadian law and having regard for the charter to ensure that those responsible for making submissions on bail proceedings and making determinations on whether bail should be denied are taking into consideration the right things when they're making those decisions. Of course, those decisions don't always get made correctly, but that doesn't mean the development of laws to try to nudge the system in the right direction shouldn't be done.
