Thank you very much for the question.
To begin, I agree with Mr. Spratt’s earlier comments since the reality in Quebec is indeed the way he described it.
Let me now provide a more specific answer. I think the importance of information is overlooked, that is, that there is unfortunately a tendency to focus on specific cases. That said, I am not suggesting that those are not serious cases. I do not in any way wish to minimize the pain of those who have lost a loved one or who are the victims of violence. Yet, there is a tendency to focus on this type of thing, creating the impression that the majority of those who commit serious offences are repeat offenders. That is not the case though, on the contrary, in fact.
Judges and Crown prosecutors are well aware of the public’s concerns. Individuals with a history of violence are treated much more harshly, and much greater attention will be paid if the person could get bail. So to answer…
