I think strengthening legislation is a very good place to start. Bail reform is a very good place to start.
At the provincial and municipal levels, I appreciate the fact that funding is going to be required to invest in a probably increasing capacity in our existing jails to house perpetrators who have committed crimes or patterns of crimes. I appreciate also, though, that we should be doing what we can to leverage opportunities when diversion is an option, when earlier intervention is an option.
I don't think it's one or the other. I think it's trying to ensure that there's support at all levels and knowing that things may escalate to the point where custody is required, but the problem is ensuring that we actually have capacity in our jails right now to deal with an increase in persons who may be held in custody.
