I think the difficulty with this legislation is that it suggests the Crown has to prove the foreseeability of loss of control and risk of harm. In particular, I think the second standard is going to be impossible for the Crown to prove. They're going to have to prove it beyond a reasonable doubt, and that's a very high standard of proof. The Crown's going to need two experts, at least, to counter the accused person's two experts. I think proving that a particular drug was likely to lead to violence is impossible. There are no studies, for example, that demonstrate links between specific drugs and crimes of violence.
