This is a reverse onus judicial interim release (bail) hearing for an accused charged with multiple serious offences including impaired operation of a motor vehicle, firearm-related offences, drug trafficking, and weapons possession.
The Crown sought detention on secondary and tertiary grounds.
The court granted bail with strict conditions, finding that the accused met his onus despite the serious nature of the charges.
The decision emphasizes the importance of a strong plan of release with credible sureties and the narrow scope of the public safety component under the secondary ground.
