Thanks, Chair. These next two are essentially the same as I moved before, but rather to first court appearance bail, if you will, rather than the undertaking in which the context was different before.
Again, the interviews that Professor Sylvestre and her team undertook with legal stakeholders showed that the conditions that are often imposed just don't work. They're arbitrary. They're unreasonable. They're excessive. For example, the one about the condition prohibiting a person being found in a designated area is often too wide and exaggerated. Others are too restrictive on freedoms, like when you have a curfew imposed on someone in the context of vandalism, or unrealistic like the one I talked about earlier, consuming alcohol when you're alcoholic or the like.
Imposing unreasonable and potentially disruptive conditions is just another way of denying bail. The purpose of these amendments would be to try to reasonably limit the geographic location and reasonably ensure security and safety, but taking into account the issues of abstinence that I talked about earlier.
