If we are continuing to talk about repeat and violent offenders, and their drug addictions as part of that, then that becomes part of the conversation and part of the context that takes place at a bail hearing.
We have to remember that with the reforms we're talking about here, we're not talking about everyday petty theft. We're talking about the worst types of repeat offenders, who are defying rehabilitation, flagrantly running afoul of the law, and continuing to victimize our communities. That's who we're talking about. If we're looking at reverse onus criteria as to whether they should be released within those three criteria you have laid out, if they have alcohol or drug addiction issues, that's going to form part of the context that will take place in the bail hearing part of considering the factors.
