I can't answer to how CSC makes their administrative decisions.
I can tell you that the Parole Board of Canada will review the file from start to finish. That file would include the background history of the offender and any societal issues he may have grown up with through his life. It would look at his criminogenic behaviour and criminal activity throughout his life. It would include the judge's comments at sentencing each time, or just the one occurrence when the offender was sentenced. Our board members would review the police reports in relation to the offence and look at the whole picture of the individual—how he got into the institution, the crime, and the nature and gravity of the offence he created.
Then they look at psychological assessments, psychiatric assessments, while in the institution; his institutional behaviour while he is in there; the conduct in relation to the successful or unsuccessful programming that he is taking in the institution. Then they look at his community release plan. It's legislated in the CCRA that there has to be a correctional release plan provided for that, which he in fact has to work on. This is to ensure the protection of society in a gradual, monitored, supervised release back into the community.
So that's how we assess risk, but I can't answer for—
