FCM doesn't have a position on that specifically. Our focus has been on strengthening the Criminal Code to make it harder for repeat violent offenders to be released on bail. We don't think that's currently happening. There's evidence to suggest that it's not happening now and that changes are needed to make that more difficult.
We also think there's a role for the federal government to play in terms of gathering and compiling data and providing guidance to the provinces on best practices for making decisions on bail and monitoring bail conditions. It's a risk-based model. The approach needs to be based on the best available evidence.
