Canada's premiers are unanimously urging Ottawa to take 'immediate action' to strengthen the country's bail system. The premiers from all 13 provinces and territories signed a letter to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, dated Friday, that says the time for action is now. The letter comes amid growing calls for reform after the late December killing of 28-year-old Const. Greg Pierzchala.
Canada's premiers are unanimously urging Ottawa to take "immediate action" to strengthen the country's bail system.
The letter from premiers notes a growing number of calls for changes to prevent accused people who are out on bail from committing further criminal acts. "This meeting led to a clear and unified call to action for the federal government to reform Canada's bail system," it says. Still, others have disagreed that bail reform is the answer, suggesting that more energy should go toward addressing the root causes of offenders' behaviour.
