The Ontario Review Board held a hearing to review two restrictions of liberty imposed on the accused, who was previously found NCR for various offences and resides in the community.
The hospital admitted the accused after suspecting he tampered with urine drug screens to conceal cannabis use.
The Board applied the Campbell framework and found that both hospital admissions constituted significant restrictions of liberty, but were necessary, appropriate, and the least restrictive interventions available to manage the accused's risk to public safety given his severe cannabis use disorder and history of violence.
