Thank you.
Chair, through you, it's a troubling thing for us. Of course, you've heard the call for bail reform from police chiefs across this country and here in Ontario. It results in a bit of a revolving door or a catch-and-release situation in which we are constantly trying to provide that process for safety.
We engage our victim services as best we can, and we provide, as all police services do, safety planning for those victims. Unfortunately, those victims are left by themselves. When the perpetrator or the accused is let out of jail, there's nobody standing on their doorstep between them and that perpetrator.
I know we've seen the recent use of ankle bracelets. That's well and good—subject, of course, to those batteries working. I can tell you that the police will become the battery police as well. When those batteries start to die, or when they do die, who's called to go and make sure somebody changes those batteries? It's the police. Although this results in another interaction with the accused, it unfortunately also goes to show some of the frailty of the system when they are let out, even with a tracker.
