As the minister said, Canadian law is not without precedent in this area. We have many years of experience with the peace bond process, which is very similar, whereby a person is ordered to appear before a court for the court to determine whether conditions should be put on the individual to ensure they do not cause danger to other individuals. In that hearing process the person has the right to counsel, evidence can be presented, and arguments can be made as to what conditions should or should not be put on an individual and on what's reasonable. These provisions are mirrored on existing provisions that have been on Canadian law books for many years.
