In terms of NCR-accused, right now it can be very difficult for family members to actually attend hearings on an annual basis because there is no travel fund, as there is for federal parole hearings. If you're a family member who lives in Ontario but an accused person was found NCR in Alberta and the hearing is being held in the hospital out there, you would have to travel on an annual basis and cover those costs to be present at the hearing.
There are issues like that. People want to be heard. They want to have their security concerns heard, especially. A lot of times right now it's a feeling that you get to present an impact statement but it's not really taken into consideration by board members, and that they have a plan, which is to reintegrate the person as quickly as possible, whether that is the best thing for public safety or not.
A lot of family members have concerns about that. It's not always a quick reintegration process. Just because they've been stabilized in a hospital, doesn't guarantee they will be compliant with their medication out in the community.
