I've been a public and long-time critic of the bail system in Canada. I believe there are far too many loopholes and that it's a broken system. I'm not saying that today to be partisan; I've been saying that for a very long time. We started a campaign, “bail reform now”, in Brampton based on the tragedy of the Henderson-Bellman incident, where someone lost her life after someone was released on bail on a fifth occasion.
