Bail reform must balance restricting access with adhering to Charter rights: Lametti
Earlier this year, the premiers called on the feds to establish a “reverse onus” system for firearm offences that would require the person seeking bail to show why they should not stay behind bars.
He said there is a “tipping point” where the Supreme Court would argue bail is not accessible enough. Federal Conservatives have been pressing the government to toughen up access to bail for repeat offenders, particularly in cases involving firearms. It codified a “principle of restraint” that had been affirmed in a 2017 Supreme Court case emphasizing release of people from detention at the “earliest reasonable opportunity” and “on the least onerous conditions,” based on the circumstances of the case.
