Andrea Giesbrecht, 40, has been in custody since shortly after the remains of six infants were found in a McPhillips Street U-Haul storage locker in October.
U-Haul employees made the discovery when they went to clean out the locker because rental payments had not been made.
Giesbrecht, who has been held in custody since her arrest last year, has had previous bail requests delayed several times in recent months.
Her trial date has been set for April 18-22, 2016.
- Dead infants case: no evidence of foul play so far, says lawyer
- Winnipeg U-Haul locker contained 6 dead babies
Police initially believed there were three or four bodies in various states of decomposition, but later increased that to six.
Giesbrecht's lawyer, Greg Brodsky, has said a forensic pathologist and a forensic anthropologist brought in by the Crown found no evidence of foul play. There is still nothing to indicate the infants were not stillborn, and the identity of any parents has not been determined, he said.
