Liberal members will be moving an amendment to give the judge the discretion of extending the period from 90 to 180 days if the inmate can demonstrate that circumstances beyond his control prevented him from meeting the 90-day deadline.
I fully understand your opposition to the government's amendment abolishing the right of inmates convicted of first degree murder to apply under the faint hope clause from the day the bill is passed and subsequently. Your reasons in that regard are very clear.
You asked a question of my colleague, Mr. Comartin, regarding the idea of notifying victims' families that the inmate did not exercise his right to apply and that the next time he would be eligible to exercise that right would only happen five years later, on a specific date. I'm sorry, but I did not understand whether or not you were in favour of that.
