There are already signs the bill will have a rough ride in the minority parliament. Opposition critics and other legal experts are warning the reverse-onus clause of Toews' bill won't pass the Constitutional muster. "In the Criminal Code presently there are a number of reverse onuses that have been held to be constitutionally valid and so I have full confidence in the lawyers in the Department of Justice that this is constitutionally valid," Toews said.
