Thank you, Mr. Chair, and welcome to both of our guests.
For the record, this bill is about giving victims more ability to be part of the process. In these particular cases, victims have the access to participate right up until that last three-year period. I think you said it best, Ms. O'Sullivan, when you said that the “clear advantage of the amendments proposed in this bill...is the benefit to victims of ultimately having a more transparent, informative, and inclusive process.” I think that's important to note.
I do have a question for Mr. Cenaiko from the Parole Board of Canada. Right now, the Parole Board of Canada has the exclusive authority to deal with ETAs for those serving the most serious of crimes. For all others—lesser crimes, lesser sentences—it's dealt with in the institution and it's by the head or by the warden that the decision is made. Why is that?
