Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says he is committed to keeping David Johnston in place as Canada's special rapporteur on foreign interference, despite a majority of MPs voting to call on him to resign.

Conservative Party Leader Pierre Poilievre says, if he becomes prime minister, his government will pass legislation to deny repeat violent offenders access to bail. The proposal speaks to Canadians' deepening concerns about crime, but experts suggest it would likely be unconstitutional.

Justice Minister David Lametti and the federal government are expected to bring forward legislation to enact bail reform as early as Tuesday.
