I have a feeling this isn't going to go well, Chair.
It sounds like exactly the same argument. The language is a bit more robust in NDP-11, but the principle is exactly the same.
It's really irrational and frankly unjust for an accused to be in detention for security reasons while awaiting a trial, if the crime they're charged with is not even serious enough to lead to imprisonment or would lead to imprisonment for only a very short time.
The amendment would remove unnecessary restrictions on the liberties of the accused. That's the purpose of the amendment. It seems like a common-sense amendment to me.
