This is from the published bill.
This enactment amends the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act to allow a victim of an offence committed by a permanent resident or a foreign national to submit a statement to the Immigration Division to be taken into consideration when a decision is made concerning the release of that permanent resident or foreign national. It also amends that Act to require the Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness to notify such victims when the permanent resident or foreign national in question is removed from the country — or detained for the purpose of such removal — or illegally re-enters Canada after being removed.
In addition, this enactment amends the Corrections and Conditional Release Act to require the Correctional Service of Canada to provide the Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness with all information under its control that is relevant to the release of permanent residents and foreign nationals and the notification of victims under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act.
