Evidentiary Threshold: Somebody Imagination and Canadian Society

evidentiary threshold: Clement said both measures would be subject to judicial review and require an "evidentiary threshold" be met. "I'm not proposing some kind of wanted list that is the figment of somebody imagination or without some kind of evidence," Clement said. "Clearly, that would not be acceptable in Canadian society." "The evidence is that more has to be done to identify these individuals who are a threat, to isolate them, to make sure the community is aware of them and then, of course, to use the judicial process to extract them from our society." Clement pointed to Aaron Driver as an example of someone openly sympathizing with the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria who was not being monitored closely enough, according to CBC. In early August, Driver was killed in a police operation in Strathroy, Ont. after being deemed an "imminent" threat by RCMP. He was under a peace bond, but not required to wear GPS tracking device. The House: Clement says no to values test, yes to enhanced screening Kellie Leitch calls comparisons with Donald Trump unfair Clement also wants terrorist suspects to be on a published "wanted" list. The case raised questions about the effectiveness of peace bonds. He did not specify how long that detention would last under his proposal. Clement said people in a similar situation to Driver should be monitored 24 hours a day and incarcerated if necessary. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
