Thank you, Mr. McKinnon.
I would say, in response, that in terms of what happened to Constable Wynn and what happened at that bail hearing, we will never fully know. What we do know is that it wasn't presented. We know that there is this loophole in the Criminal Code, and that's what this bill seeks to close because, again, this information is always relevant. In fact, when we look at the three grounds that are set out in the Criminal Code in subsection 515(10) in terms of grounds or justification for detention, criminal history is relevant in all three cases. I think it certainly goes to public safety in terms of ensuring that a judge or a magistrate has information to know whether the person has an extensive criminal history, whether they are a flight risk, and whether they have an arm's length of outstanding charges.
Of course, it's still up to the judge or the justice of the peace to make the final call as to whether or not that person is suitable for bail, and if so, what the conditions should be, if any.
