My testimony, when I responded to questions, was in terms of the risks and effectiveness of parole. It's my general understanding that there are benefits to providing offenders with the opportunity to reintegrate in the community under supervision.
Having said that, our recommendation for people convicted of murder and people with indeterminate sentences is that it be increased to five years. What's been added with this piece of legislation is schedule I, which is mostly offences—like sexual assault against children, for example—that can carry lesser sentencing.
Again, offender management is not my area of expertise, but I will say this. Every victim I speak to says they don't want what happened to them to happen to anyone else, and they understand that offenders will be coming back into the community. So this is something from a victim's lens. They want to make sure offenders don't reoffend. Again, I would refer to maybe Correctional Service Canada or the Parole Board of Canada, who have that expertise with regard to offender management.
Did that answer your question?
