Do I think most would? No, probably not, but some would, yes.
I've seen some remarkable things. I've seen some remarkable applications. And we don't have time for war stories, but it's not so absurd a hypothetical that I thought it did an injustice to the committee to put it down on paper.
What I have as a problem is that it's possible. There's nothing in the legislation that protects the reversal of onus in this situation. It is entirely incumbent upon the discretion of the assistant crown attorney; it is entirely incumbent upon his or her goodwill at this point. That discretion ought not to be wielded by one individual under these circumstances to turn around and say, “Disprove you're a danger, sir”. It's simply not something that ought to be contemplated by legislation. That discretion is too broad.
