Application for judicial interim release of a young person charged with serious gun and drug-related offences under the Youth Criminal Justice Act.
The Crown and defence agreed on release conditions with a named surety (a senior pastor), but the court found the surety unsuitable and the proposed conditions inadequate to address the established risk of re-offence.
The court dismissed the application and ordered continued detention, finding that the surety lacked meaningful relationship with the youth and that the home environment presented unresolved supervision concerns.
