I can answer the second question.
There are two parts to that. The first is the operational aspect and how it would work. The amendments in the bill would operate so that when police officers come into contact with an accused who they believe has breached a condition in a bail order, they would have the option of laying a charge or issuing an appearance notice.
On the appearance notice, in the amended forms, there would be a box they could tick that would state that the accused is being referred to appear for a judicial referral hearing. It would have the same stuff it would normally have about what their alleged conduct has been and why they're going before the court. The police officer could refer them. Then they would appear in a court for this purpose. The Crown attorney would make the application before the court.
No new charges and information would have been laid, but they would be before the court, and the court would look at the situation and the conditions of release. If they had more than one set of conditions, they could all be pulled back and consolidated so they would be easier to follow. If the conditions were impossible to comply with, they could look at the situation and see what would be reasonable in the circumstance.
One thing that's important to remember with this is that there is an eligibility criterion for what type of administration of justice offences this could apply to. The criterion is that the alleged breach cannot have caused any harm to a victim, so it wouldn't be administration of justice type of offences that could implicate public safety, such as breaching a non-communication order with an alleged victim or something like that.
The other way it could happen is that a Crown attorney could see a file where police have laid a charge and the Crown attorney might have more knowledge about the case or the offender overall. If they felt that it would be more appropriate to proceed this way, they could also refer it to the court.
Does that answer your questions in terms of the procedural aspect of how it would work?
