Mr. Speaker, in particular, the reverse onus on serious violent offences that this bill includes is really significant. Obviously, it reverses the onus such that the offenders and their counsel are going to have to prove that they are not a risk to society, rather than bail being sort of the default when a repeat offender is being considered for bail.
Putting those reverse onuses in place is going to significantly strengthen the ability for our justice system to hold those individuals without bail, especially and only when those individuals are up on charges that demonstrate a clear history of repeat violent crime.
