When they get an Access to Information Act request, like they have from many of my clients, they should fairly and properly comply and not use, as an excuse and a pretext, the privacy rights—so-called—of the offender, for information that the offenders themselves are relying upon at a public hearing in order to be released from the full consequences of their sentences. It literally is that simple. It starts there. There has to be transparency.
When we do our ATIP applications, our Access to Information Act applications, do you know what I get from Correctional Service Canada and the Parole Board? They send back to me the victim impact statements that we've prepared. They literally send back information that we provided to Correctional Service Canada and the Parole Board. They give us nothing with respect to the facts relating to issues that are relevant to public safety, which is the statutory mandate of Correctional Service Canada and the Parole Board.
