Sure. Were it an indictable offence, then yes, this would apply. I'd point out as well that there's an existing provision in the bail scheme that creates a reverse onus in relation to people who are not ordinarily resident in Canada. The ordinarily resident in Canada reverse onus is more clearly aligned to flight risk.
To your example, Mr. Housefather, about somebody who is here visiting, who is not a resident and doesn't live in Canada, that reverse onus in that circumstance would trigger—to your point—because you are concerned about a potential flight risk.
