I didn't realize you were calling for people to have something to say.
The definitions here in clause 70 have to do with authority being granted to the offender by the board, to allow a provincial parole board.... The whole issue of day parole is spelled out there. The definitions are changed considerably.
We do object to those changes, because they effectively devolve the decision-making about these things from the minister setting rules, just as in clause 69. There's a whole series of rule-making being granted to the institutions themselves.
We're opposed to that. We want to see the minister take responsibility for these matters. These ought not to be devolved in the way they are in these clauses.
I just want it on the record that we're opposed to clause 69 and clause 70 for those reasons.
