Chief Roskamp and numerous other police officers have specifically singled out Bill C-75 largely because of the principle of restraint. This is a section of the Criminal Code that says judges should give “primary consideration to the release of the accused at the earliest reasonable opportunity and on the least onerous conditions”. Bill C-14 puts a clarification there, which says, “For greater certainty, section 493.1 does not require the accused to be released.” A clarification is not a fundamental change.
Are you of the view that the principle of restraint has been misinterpreted by judges and a clarification is all that's required to address this issue that law enforcement has been raising?
