I would like to approach that from another angle, Mr. Chairman.
We do not monitor individuals who are given a conditional release. On the other hand, we are aware that if you act on our proposal, the trial process will change. The system as we know it now, in terms of agreements between defence and Crown lawyers, will probably change. According to our estimates, officers involved in investigations are likely to have to spend 30 per cent more time in court.
Having said that, although we believe it could be more labourious for a police agency to have to prove an individual's guilt, the position we put forward earlier is the appropriate one.
