Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Thank you for appearing before us today. It has been very helpful.
First, I am interested in exploring the registration as it is currently. Under subsection 490.012(4), the court is not required to make an order under the section if it is satisfied that the offender has established that, if the order were made, the impact on him or her would be grossly disproportionate to the public interest in protecting society, through the effect of investigation. This tells me that the onus is quite clearly on the applicant, and probably as it should be.
I'm just wondering if you are aware of any cases where courts have refused to order registration.
