A report released last week puts all the blame on Ms. Kelly's team. I must remind you that your board members were appointed on a political basis. We mustn't forget this. Even though the parliamentary secretary doesn't want to hear about it, these are the facts. The purpose of the motion passed in the House is to shed light on the circumstances and the purging of board members in 2017, which led to new appointments. Our point is that the board members in place lacked the necessary expertise and experience. The fact that they failed to immediately suspend Mr. Gallese's parole and failed to notice that the reports weren't up to date are two examples that demonstrate this.
Also, page 110 of the report talks about non-compliance. It refers to a significant disparity between the decision shared verbally with the offender at the hearing and the written decision with regard to the permissions granted to Mr. Gallese by the case management team.
The Parole Board's legal mandate requires transparency in its work.
Isn't there a lack of transparency here?
