Mr. Trudell, thank you for visiting with us again.
We're planning to adjust our laws here to actually adjust what is explicitly a charter right, the right to bail. In doing that adjustment, there are two things I want to ask you about. You have warned us that we many not have sufficient justification upfront, statistically or otherwise, to justify doing that adjustment to the charter right.
I want to ask about two things. First, for whatever reason, the government has chosen not to insert a preamble that might have attempted to articulate the nexus between people charged with these offences and further potential danger to the community. Second, regarding the presence in the words of some pro forma criminal offences like ammunition or a crossbow, which don't have anything directly to do really with danger from firearms, not directly, do you think these pro forma references to the crossbow and a couple of bullets in the guy's pocket will detract from our hope that the court will see there is a nexus between the danger of these people and these offences for which they're charged?
