Critical Analysis — What This Bill Actually Does
Bail reform that reversed the onus of proof for certain firearms offences and repeat violent offenders — meaning the accused must prove why they should be released rather than the Crown proving why they should be detained. Restricts judicial discretion in bail hearings and expands the categories of offences subject to reverse onus.
