Some provincial justice ministers say the federal government's commitment this week to changing parts of the Criminal Code will bring 'back into balance' some 'unintended consequences' of 2019 bail reform.
Some provincial justice ministers say the federal government’s commitment this week to changing parts of the Criminal Code will bring “back into balance” some “unintended consequences” of 2019 bail reform.
But Lametti would not say whether he’s promised the provinces those reforms will include a reverse onus at bail hearings for certain firearms charges, something the premiers have been calling for. A reverse onus would mean those seeking bail would have to show why they should be released, as opposed to the Crown demonstrating why they should be detained.
Critics of reverse onus say it removes the right to presumption of innocence until proven guilty, but Sharma said in this case, and in the circumstances under which the provinces are pushing for it, the goal is not to change the fundamentals of the justice system.
