Lametti told a parliamentary committee meeting Monday he is prepared to make changes to the Criminal Code and has already talked with some provincial counterparts about the issue. He said there is a "tipping point" where the Supreme Court would argue bail is not accessible enough. Federal Conservatives have been pressing the government to toughen up access to bail for repeat offenders, particularly in cases involving firearms.
Federal Conservatives and other critics are also calling on the federal government to reverse a 2019 law that updated provisions in the Criminal Code.
