I would say, first of all, that there is no tragedy that can compare to someone losing their child. There is no answer you can give in the Criminal Code that will bring someone back to life. It is a pain that too many people in this country have felt personally and know deeply.
My understanding of that case is that the person was actually released on Crown consent, so I don't understand that it was a shortcoming of these specific rules but perhaps of how things played out in that particular instance.
If there are dangerous people who are also breaching bail conditions, that is absolutely something the court should be considering. Making sure we're dealing with people who pose a public safety risk is precisely the kind of thing I believe Bill C-14 will do. It's not going to bring back someone's loved ones, but it does have the potential to prevent further loss of life in the future.
