Mr. Speaker, our bail reform bill received royal assent this week. This legislation is the result of consultations with and close collaboration between our government, all the provinces and territories, and Canada's major police associations. Canadians need to have confidence in our justice system and know that it will protect them from harm. My question is for the Minister of Justice and Attorney General. How will this bill improve the safety of Canadians?

Mr. Speaker, I want to thank the member for Alfred-Pellan for his question and his dedication. As a minister, a father and a Canadian, community safety is one of my top priorities. Bill C-48 has now received royal assent. This bail reform bill will keep repeat violent offenders off our streets. Our government will continue to fight crime and its root causes to keep communities safe. All of Canada's premiers, police forces and municipalities called for action, and we acted.
