Thank you for that.
To turn matters over to Mr. Dalrymple, thank you so much for agreeing to testify today, sir. This has been a missing piece of the puzzle so far, as part of our bail and sentencing study. We've heard from defence counsel, academics, law schools, etc., but we have yet to receive any input from Crown associations in this province, so I do thank you for your attendance.
I would agree with you, sir, that this is not a one-size-fits-all issue. We have to work together—all three levels of government—to improve our criminal justice system. From one Crown to another, I feel like I'm isolated in the House of Commons when I repeatedly describe the reality of being in the trenches, day in and day out, and hearing from politicians who think it's manna from heaven when the government introduces more reverse onus provisions to criminal charges. Can you provide some realistic thought on what really happens at a bail hearing when presented with a reverse onus or a Crown onus situation, and the impact of the releases that we see in light of Bill C-75?
