Thank you for those comments.
I'm not necessarily saying it needs to be redefined completely, but it needs to be narrowed. It needs to be constricted. If you have a definition of a violent offence that effectively is five years or more, you've captured—except for all of the offences that are kind of administrative offences and some other summary conviction offences—a huge umbrella and a huge number of offences within that. That opens up those offences to the pre-trial detention regime, and that's the difficulty with broadening the concept and creating this broad concept of violent offence, because you've now made accessible to pre-trial detention a whole bunch of offences that perhaps currently under the YCJA wouldn't be there, and maybe ought not to be there.
One of the examples I used was that of a schoolyard fight. For simple assault, you could be liable—if you were proceeded by way of indictment—for five years, and, as a result you could potentially find yourself in pre-trial detention if all of the other factors under the bail regime came into play, and they easily can come into play. As someone who's in bail courts on a daily basis, I know these things happen.
