I'm going to say yes. I think it isn't helping Canadians to stay protected in many instances. For the purposes of this conversation, yes, it often results in a heightened sense of risk and danger.
As we've just heard, an accused who's been sent to jail will be released on bail or through some form of release. On top of what was already a tense situation, he's now angry. He's now embarrassed. He may feel a loss of power and a loss of control. We suddenly find that there is a heightened risk to the victim and the person who's made this complaint. We are stuck with trying to help with managing for safety programming. The police provide safety programming and provide emergency contact phones; it's not enough.
So the answer is yes.
