What is the current state of the law in Canada on an application for bail in relation to an international arrest warrant for an alleged terrorist act?

British Columbia, Canada


The following excerpt is from United States v Meng, 2018 BCSC 2255 (CanLII):

But the courts in this Country have long recognized that a correct approach to extradition proceedings is characterized by good faith in honouring Canada's international obligations; see: Schmidt v. The Queen, 1987 CanLII 48 (SCC), [1987] 1 S.C.R. 500. In my view, adherence to that principle requires a court considering a bail application such as this to limit the assumption of the risk of non‑appearance more severely than might otherwise be acceptable in the case of domestic proceedings.
