The applicant sought a bail review under s. 520 of the Criminal Code after being denied bail on multiple serious charges, including firearms offences, fraud, and human trafficking-related assaults.

The court found a material change in circumstances due to the evolving COVID-19 pandemic and a significantly altered release plan, entitling the applicant to a fresh bail hearing.

Despite finding the applicant met his onus on primary grounds, the court dismissed the application, concluding that detention was necessary on secondary grounds (public safety, including the complainant's safety) and tertiary grounds (maintaining confidence in the administration of justice), citing the applicant's extensive criminal history, defiance of law, the gravity and strength of the Crown's case on recent charges, and the weakness of the proposed release plan.
