Mr. Dakalbab and I were also in attendance at the ministers' meeting and had the good fortune to see the discussions and the consensus that Minister Mendicino has talked about.
If you talk about bail reform in terms of what the provinces and territories can do, I can interpret that in one of two ways.
We received a number of different proposals for Criminal Code reform from the provinces and territories, either through the work we do as officials with our provincial and territorial partners.... I think the last time I appeared before this committee, I talked a bit about that work, which we have been doing for some time.
We heard a number of specific proposals for law reform at the March 10 meeting, which Minister Mendicino spoke to, but we've also heard about non-legislative changes that are needed or that are important to improve the functioning of the bail system.
Mr. Garrison has talked a bit about bail supervision. I think the Attorney General of Saskatchewan talked a bit about some of the work they're doing in their jurisdictions as well in terms of changes to Crown policies around when to argue for bail to be denied versus when bail should be favoured.
It probably doesn't answer your question specifically, but there are a lot of different things that are being talked about as ways to fine-tune or improve upon a good foundation.
I think, by and large, most would agree that for most cases, the bail system is working well. However, where the focus has been—and, as bureaucrats, how we're supporting the government—is on that more targeted area of repeat and violent offending.
