Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, officials, for being here this afternoon, ready and willing to answer all of our questions on this very important bill.
Canada's bail system is built on the principle of restraint, which is about how decisions are made and not about guaranteeing release. Can you explain how Bill C-14 is providing direction to the courts and police on how to apply the principle of restraint while making it clear that detention remains an option for repeat and violent offenders?
