That is 148.
You are saying that 148 people had a right to a reduction in the time before being eligible for parole.
Counsel, Criminal Law Policy Section, Department of Justice
These figures date from April 25, 2010, and are provided by the Correctional Service of Canada.
Counsel, Criminal Law Policy Section, Department of Justice

Counsel, Criminal Law Policy Section, Department of Justice
That's the total from March 7, 2010. I have more recent numbers, but they have not changed; we are still talking about 276 people.

Of those 148 people as of April 25, 2010, has anyone reoffended?

Marc Lemay Bloc Abitibi—Témiscamingue, QC
Did any of those individuals re-offend by committing first-degree murder?

Were any of those individuals serving a longer sentence, or had any of them committed a crime warranting a prison sentence of at least 10 years?
Counsel, Criminal Law Policy Section, Department of Justice
I have the figures regarding prisoners released by the National Parole Board. However, I don't have any figures on their sentences.
