For those people who are out on bail, who are before the courts facing charges, there are limited conditions written into the Criminal Code, which I think need to be modernized. That was my point. We need to look at where the world is now in 2010 rather than where we were in the late seventies or early eighties.
I think there are some conditions that.... We may put curfews on individuals. There may be people who are out breaking and entering into homes in the daytime, but whose curfew is to be inside a location--ideally, a given residence--from nine o'clock at night to eight o'clock in the morning. So it's not limiting or controlling their behaviour.
I believe that the conditions that need to be expanded and specified in the Criminal Code need to be more consistent with today's world. For example, with some street gang individuals, I know of an incident where, in order to restrict their ability to operate, the request was to prohibit them from carrying cellphones, because when they carry cellphones, that's how they do their business. It was, I believe, a responsible condition to prohibit them from carrying cellphones, but these conditions need to be expanded. They need to be commensurate with controlling the behaviour of individuals if they are out of custody on strict conditions. I think we need to revisit that.
