Sure, thank you.
There are a number of offences that would be the subject of a reverse onus as a result of Bill C-14.
I'll start at the top of the list: assault, aggravated assault, sexual assault and aggravated sexual assault involving choking, and those offences are in sections 266, 268, 271 and 273; violent car theft and organized crime-related car theft, both of which have a maximum penalty of 14 years of imprisonment; extortion involving violence; break and enter of a dwelling; trafficking in persons; trafficking in persons under the age of 18; and human smuggling offences under sections 117 and 118 of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act.
There's also reverse onus in section 523 with respect to accused persons convicted, but not yet sentenced, of a criminal offence where the Crown is seeking to revoke bail, and there's the existing reverse onus that's targeting repeat and violent offending, which was enacted by former Bill C-48. It would be expanded. The Bill C-48 reverse onus was narrowly tailored to capture those who are charged with a violent offence involving a weapon if they have a conviction for a similar offence from the last five years. This bill would ensure that the past conviction dates back to 10 years, because there was a concern that it was too narrow to capture those who were serving a longer sentence and who might just be released on bail and not be captured by the reverse onus. The bill would expand that reverse onus to ensure that it captures relevant convictions in the last 10 years.
