Generally speaking, I oppose reverse onuses. I tend to agree with the brief that was submitted by Aboriginal Legal Services before this committee, which says that this could also apply against women, and it actually does apply against women. I think Mr. Rankin referred to that earlier.
I think release should be a decision that is made based on evidence of a serious threat that individuals are posing to victims and witnesses and that there shouldn't be any reverse onus, because whenever we're putting any restrictive provisions in the Criminal Code, they always fall back on over-incarcerated and overrepresented groups, including indigenous people, racialized minorities, and in some cases women.
