Hon. Denise Batters: I have a brief question for Senator Boisvenu. In regard to this, I just want to make it clear for those of us who are not fluent in French, and who do not have a full understanding of what has been said. My understanding is that this particular amendment returns the bill to the form in which it existed previously. The part of bail reform relating to serious offences would apply not only to people who have been convicted, but also to people who have been found guilty and were discharged, whether it’s an absolute discharge or a conditional discharge. Just so that my colleagues know, absolute discharges can be quite serious matters. For example, in 2008, Saskatchewan Roughriders general manager Eric Tillman received an absolute discharge after he sexually assaulted his children’s babysitter. That is the kind of serious charge that we’re dealing with here. Is it correct that those are the types of matters that we’re dealing with, and that we want to ensure we can have a reverse onus on bail applied to those conditional and absolute discharges?
