I am encouraged by the direction and the clarity that appear to be present in Bill C-14. It clearly gives direction around the parameters of reverse onus and highlights the things that need to be considered, like tertiary grounds.
I believe that we're going to need to monitor it. I don't know how effectively, as a society, we have monitored the impacts of Bill C-48 and been committed to making quick changes, as opposed to the five-year commitment that's embedded in the legislation to review the effectiveness of it.
This is public safety, and it can't wait five years. We need to be constantly monitoring how these implications are affecting Canadians, and we need to be making the necessary changes.
