Mr. Speaker, we are on the same page. Repeat violent offenders should not be released, so let me be clear again: There is nothing stopping judges and JPs from denying bail. The current law states that people who are a risk to public safety or a flight risk should not be given bail.
I think it is time for the provinces to step up. What is happening? Let us make sure that Crown prosecutors are well funded and make sure there is space to hold these criminals. We are going to do our part; the provinces should do theirs.
