A propensity warning given in the context of uncharged acts in a multi-victim sexual offence trial will be sufficient if, read fairly in the context of the whole charge, it does not draw a distinction between charged and uncharged acts. Erroneous legal advice on one aspect of sentencing consequences does not render a guilty plea involuntary where the totality of circumstances shows the plea was a voluntary and deliberate choice. Privilege in the contents of psychiatric reports is waived when the reports are provided to the Crown, even if the documents themselves are later returned.
