Mr. Hoover, on the provisions with regard to presumption, when they are talking about prior offences it says “that the offender was convicted previously”. I'm going to use an example, because we have it in Windsor right now, of an individual who has committed a series of offences. He is HIV/AIDS positive and they are moving for a dangerous offender.... He committed all the offences, he was convicted of all the offences all at one time, and now they are applying. Would that trigger this section, or would he have to have been convicted of other offences two years ago or ten years ago? What does “convicted previously” mean?
