One thing that's really important is that we don't categorize offenders. Criminal law is uniquely individualistic, as is sentencing and as are bail hearings. It's really important to me that we maintain the ability of the court to dig into the facts of an individual case.
I do think that there are classes of offences—for example, those that we've identified in the reverse onus provisions included in Bill C-14—where a person who's facing charges of those specific offences will be less likely to be released on bail.
I think that categorizing offenders as groups of people would be a dangerous prediction to make.
