What you're saying is very interesting. Basically, it's not that these offenders will not be able to be released from prison; rather, they will have to appear at a hearing before the Board, rather than being assessed through a paper review, as is currently the case. They will have a hearing before the Board, something which could plug the system. Later, they will be assessed by a multidisciplinary team. A risk evaluation will be done, they will come before the Board and the Board will have to determine whether or not to direct their release, based on the multidisciplinary team's recommendation. So, it cannot be said that this bill will prevent people from getting out of prison. Instead, from now on, they will be assessed in a more detailed fashion by an officer and will have to appear before the Board. The decision will no longer be based on a paper review. Is that correct?
