Canada’s premiers are calling for stronger bail conditions to reduce violent crime, as they gathered for a Council of the Federation meeting in Winnipeg.

“Our discussions today were focused on building stronger communities for all Canadians, beginning with shared public safety challenges arising from violent crime in our communities,” Manitoba Premier Heather Stefanson said on July 11. Ms. Stefanson is the chair of the Council, which is made up of Canada’s premiers and territorial leaders.
