Actually, it does. There are two things you mentioned that I want to address. One, you spoke to the ladder principle, which the bill makes clear does not apply in cases of reverse onus.
On the substance of the issue you've just mentioned.... This came directly from conversations with my Conservative counterpart in Ontario, Attorney General Doug Downey, who worked with us to say not only that we need to put the burden of proof on the accused in the reverse onus scenario, but specifically that they would be required to present credible information on which the court can conclude that they do not pose a public safety threat. That was the result of conversations to find the best path forward.
I think it works. I think it's going to work well, and it's been included in the bill.
