The Chair Liberal Anthony Housefather

I have one last question, Mr. Cooper.

When I look at paragraph 515(10)(b), which is the public safety element of subsection 515(10), that talks about why the detention of an accused is justifiable. Would you agree that if the prosecutor does not introduce the evidence under paragraph 518(1)(c), then it is difficult for the magistrate to draw a proper conclusion under paragraph 515(10)(b)?
