Bail reform is an interesting topic, and I'm glad it is getting the valuable attention it so deserves and that Canadians have been asking for.
One of the challenges we have seen from federal and a multi-jurisdictional police perspective is that it is not just a federal responsibility. The federal government can legislate changes to the Criminal Code, but that code is governed and administered provincially and territorially. We have been trying to scream from the rooftops that all governments need to be working in tandem to do their part.
The principle of restraint is there. I really have no opinion on it. However, appropriately funded, appropriately resourced, appropriately educated and standardized training for all levels of the justice system across Canada, I think, is desperately needed, and we all have to do our part.
