Mr. Speaker, this new government's agenda is to be tough on crime. We are going to make it tougher for violent criminals to get bail and will impose stricter sentences for repeat offenders.
The topic of bail keeps coming up. It is the job of provinces to administer the bail system. Right now, the law states that people who are a risk to public safety or are a flight risk should not be given bail. The provinces really need to take a look at what is happening in their courtrooms.
