Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says his government is looking “carefully” and “quickly” at a letter from Canada’s premiers calling for reforms to the country’s bail system.

Premiers from all 13 provinces and territories signed the letter sent to Trudeau on Friday, writing that the time for action is now and “our heroic first responders cannot wait.”
