The Ontario Review Board conducted an annual review of the accused's disposition.

The accused, who was found not criminally responsible for several violent offences, is currently detained at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health.

The Board accepted the joint recommendation of the parties and the evidence of the attending psychiatrist that the accused continues to pose a significant threat to public safety due to residual psychotic symptoms and limited insight.

The Board ordered the continuation of the Detention Order, finding it to be the least onerous and least restrictive disposition necessary to manage his risk, but removed a condition requiring substance testing.

The Ontario Review Board held an annual review hearing for an accused found NCRMD for attempted murder.

The accused, diagnosed with Schizophrenia and substance use disorders, had a successful year with no violence, maintained abstinence, and complied with his medication.

The Board found that he continues to pose a significant threat to public safety due to the risk of relapse and decompensation without supervision.

The Board ordered a continuation of his Detention Order with community living privileges, and granted a joint request to add a travel pass for up to 14 days outside of Canada, subject to hospital approval.
