Mr. Chair, I'll be brief.
Taking into account the principle of double jeopardy and the related notion of res judicata in the civil context, while an accused person may be designated high risk upon his or her first contact with the system and treated as such, it would not be appropriate for the crown to make repeated applications before the board in this regard, thereby prejudicing not only the rights of the NCR-accused, but abusing the process through repeated vexatious attempts at securing such a designation where it has been determined, upon first hearing of the matter, the designation was not warranted.
