As regards recognizance to keep the peace, the bill sets out four new conditions: that the defendant participate in a treatment program; that the defendant wear an electronic monitoring device; that the defendant return to and remain at his or her place of residence at times specified in the recognizance; and that the defendant appear before correctional authorities.
While these provisions may seem warranted in certain cases for convicted offenders, we consider them excessive for individuals who have been convicted of no offence.
Thank you very much.
