An Act to amend the Criminal Code (bail reform) = Loi modifiant le Code criminel (réforme sur la mise en liberté sous caution).: XB441-48/3-PDF
"This enactment amends the Criminal Code to, among other things, (a) create a reverse onus provision for any person charged with a serious offence involving violence and the use of a weapon who has been convicted, within the last five years, of a serious offence involving violence and the use of a weapon; (b) add certain firearms offences to the existing reverse onus provisions; (c) expand the reverse onus provision for offences involving intimate partner violence to ensure that it applies to an accused person who has been previously discharged for such an offence; and (d) require the court to consider if an accused person has any previous convictions involving violence and to include in the record a statement that the safety and security of the community was considered. This enactment also makes further clarifications and provides for a parliamentary review of the provisions it enacts or amends to commence on the fifth anniversary of the day on which it receives royal assent, or as soon as feasible after that anniversary"--Summary, page ii.
