This bill tightens Canada's bail (judicial interim release) system by creating a category of 'major offences' subject to stricter detention rules, expanding reverse-onus provisions for violent crimes, restricting release for repeat violent offenders, imposing passport deposit requirements for non-citizens/non-permanent residents, and lowering the threshold for pre-trial detention from 'substantial likelihood' to 'reasonably foreseeable.'
