Parole Eligibility
During Statements by Members, a Conservative member raised parole eligibility for people convicted of murder. He cited the case of Toronto police constable Todd Baylis, saying the officer’s family has had to attend repeated parole hearings for his killer, and argued that victims’ families should not have to relive traumatic events at frequent hearings. He called on the government to require longer intervals between parole reviews, saying the Liberals had made a promise on this that was not kept, and framed the issue as a choice between criminals and victims. The comments relate to a bill amending the Corrections and Conditional Release Act so that parole reviews for murder offenders occur on statutory time frames rather than on the offender’s application.Written by AI from the debate.
