This is new language being proposed on clause 7, adding after line 24 on page 3 the following:
(2) A person who is sentenced, transferred or committed to a penitentiary may only be transferred to a penitentiary or an area in a penitentiary that has been assigned a security classification that corresponds to the security classification assigned to the person.
The reason for that is to make sure that the Correctional Service of Canada has a very clear mandate in rules around how facilities and inmates are treated. CSC should not be transferring inmates to different areas of the institution or to another institution that does not meet that classification and they don't mesh. It works both ways. Not only will we keep maximum-security inmates out of minimum- or medium-security prisons, but also the other way around.
