Mr. Speaker, we keep referring to the charter, and as somebody who actually thinks Bill C-14 is important because we do need bail reform, I think we need to reflect on the principles of our entire body of law, from the Commonwealth through to Canada. It starts with Blackstone's principle from 1760, which is a hard one to hear right now, but it is foundational. The principle is that it is better that nine guilty men go free than that one innocent man be imprisoned.
These are tough choices, and it is not just about the charter.
