Public Safety committee  Sure.

Public Safety committee  I would start by saying that with the $631 application fee as it currently exists for record suspensions, there are service standards in place, so it would be, say, six months for a summary conviction and 12 months for an indictment. With the proposal being discussed here with B

Public Safety committee  Broadly speaking, I am reluctant to give a particular amount of time. Again, I think we would have to assess the volumes we have. There are thousands of applications that come in each year, but certainly it would fall well below the accepted service standards that are put in plac

Public Safety committee  No, that's definitely the case. If we were looking at pardons that would not continue to be in place, it would either be a situation involving good conduct, but most often, it would be a new conviction.

Public Safety committee  No. The no-fee is the application fee that is collected by the Parole Board of Canada.

Public Safety committee  I think the costs vary quite a bit, depending on which police service or which court. I don't have any hard and fast estimates with me to provide right now. I do believe that the department maybe had a cursory examination on this issue. But again, you'd be talking.... I would hes

Public Safety committee  Sure, I can weigh in. Thank you very much. Under this amendment, from the Parole Board of Canada's perspective, we don't currently have the technological capacity to implement what is outlined in this motion. We'd need to consult with partners. We would want to verify some of th
