These three factors are usually referred to as primary, secondary, and tertiary grounds. Note that there will be accused individuals who come before the Court where there will be significant concerns with the aforementioned grounds. At this point, the Court would consider "the release plan" proposed by the Defence. This plan usually consists of answering lingering questions the Court may have in how the Accused plans to address the problems the Court has with any of the grounds. The Court may want a surety to be the "jail guard" in the community to watch the Accused to make sure they stay on the straight and narrow. The Court may even want a residential surety, meaning a surety that can live with the Accused full time to make sure the Accused doesn’t break any conditions of the release that would be given to them if released to the community. The Court may think an Accused may skip town or attend a place the Accused is ordered not to be. In this circumstance, the Defence may present a plan that includes electronic monitoring in the form of a GPS ankle bracelet. To put it simply, the plan put forth should address each potential concern the Court may have with any of the three grounds relative to the Accused. In determining this, the Defence would "call" or put on the stand the surety and any other witnesses deemed relevant such as a representative from an electronic monitoring company or even the Accused.

If granted bail, the bail conditions are read out and the recognizance of bail is drafted and signed by the Accused and the surety (if any). If denied bail, the Accused is given a next court date and taken back into custody where they will remain until the completion of the matter in the legal system (which can take months or even over a year) or until there’s a "bail review" in the Superior Court of Ontario which is akin to an "appeal" of the bail hearing.
