Mr. Speaker, we all agree that we want to reform the bail system. That is why, as the Prime Minister said again today, we will very shortly be bringing the House a proposal to reform the bail system that will achieve three known objectives.
The first objective is to combat gun violence and organized crime to make it harder for violent repeat offenders to get bail. The second objective is to increase the penalties for violent repeat offenders, particularly those involved in organized crime, break-ins, auto theft and human trafficking. The third objective is to reduce court delays, as our colleague from Montcalm was saying. Reducing these delays warrants careful consideration of this bail reform proposal.
