I would certainly defer to the Parole Board of Canada and to CSC as to what kind of an administrative...as to how that will proceed. My understanding is that the warden.... For everything other than murder and indeterminates, right now the Parole Board has all of that and does that. I would defer to them to speak to what challenges they may face. That's really an administrative process, that there has been a legal need for them to appear before or to go back to a court process. On the functioning of that, I would defer to those agencies.
I would like to reiterate that for whatever that process is, for whatever decision is made, here we have an opportunity for whoever holds that process for the three-year period, which is that they make it a transparent process, they make it available in a written format, and they have it so that victims can have input into this. When you ask us about it, I think this is about an opportunity here to be more inclusive of victims in getting their voices heard, in being respected, and in being able to input.
Being notified ahead of time that this is actually taking place, because we hear from victims.... They may be on an escorted temporary access pass, but if you're not aware that they're coming into your community and you come across them, whether they're escorted or not.... I mean, we're talking about I think some basic rights for victims: to be able to be informed, to be able to update and participate, and to be able to, if they can't participate or choose not to, get this information in a written format. That's about accountability. That's about whoever is making the decision being accountable for that decision process.
We tried to find the data around how many wardens' boards.... That was unavailable. How many boards do they actually hold? Again, when you look at accountability and transparency, I think whoever has it would need to have that.
