Thank you very much, Mr. Chair, and my thanks to all of you for being here today.
Ms. MacInnis-Wynn, I echo the comments of the chair in thanking you for everything you have done to bring this forward today and for being here and sharing your story with us. I'm so sorry for your loss, but thank you so much for being here and the courage it took to do that.
Mr. Trudell, I'd like to ask you a question. I'm first going to ask you a question on subsection 515(10), the justification for detention in custody. This bill seeks to add a couple of factors on the third ground of reasons justifying bail detention. The rationale put forward for this bill is to ensure that the relevant evidence is always presented to the court or to a magistrate in a bail hearing.
These additions to subsection 515(10) on the third ground seem to expand the ability of a court to detain a person, or it's giving them another kick at the can, if you will, on things that have already been considered in paragraphs (a) and (b) of the justifications.
I'm wondering if you have any thoughts on that and if you believe that the grounds added to subsection 515(10) would be useful.
