If I may, Attorney General, while the Conservatives certainly support expanding the list of reverse onus bail offences, it doesn't mean that bail should continue to be undermined with the principle of restraint, or the ladder principle, which this legislation fails on.
I'd like to take you further and talk about the fact that Bill C-14 expands the list of reverse onus offences but doesn't clarify the burden of proof to be met in reverse onus offences. This would lead to inconsistent applications by the courts. We've heard from multiple police forces that are asking the government to clarify the burden of proof to be applied on reverse onus hearings. Why doesn't Bill C-14 do that?
