I'd offer two things in response to that.
The first is that the entire bail framework in the Criminal Code is structured in a way that is based on restraint. You would have heard testimony last week about how the latter principle operates and you go from the least restrictive to the more restrictive conditions. That is in effect a reflection of the principle of restraint and the notion of an accused being released without conditions if they don't pose a flight risk, if they don't pose a public safety risk or if their release wouldn't involve confidence in the administration of justice.
I think the entire system is premised on restraint. I would go back to what I reiterated earlier: The principle of restraint need not be viewed in opposition to public safety considerations or detention. If you look at it in that way, some of the other amendments that are included in Bill C-14 are not inconsistent with the principle of restraint. They're very much consistent with the principle.
