Mr. Speaker, judges lose a lot of independence with this bill. For instance, it imposes pretrial detention for a range of crimes that do not necessarily pose a threat to the public, such as car theft. Just because someone is accused of car theft does not necessarily mean that they are guilty or that they pose a threat to the public.
The Bloc Québécois is not opposed to all reverse onus provisions, like in cases of domestic violence for example, but I would like to hear a little more from my colleague on this subject.
