Thank you.
Mr. Gemmel, you mentioned that this is a national issue. This tracks with what I've been hearing. There is no city, town or community that is unaffected by this in any province, be it northern, southern, French, English, large, small, urban or rural. You said very clearly that it's a national problem.
The Liberal members on this committee have been trying to put a lot of the blame on provincial governments, saying that our issues are really with provinces here. You're saying that this is a national issue. You're saying that there is federal legislation that is needed to solve this bail problem.
