Human Resources committee  This is on page 6, clause 10: Despite subsections (1) and (1.1), if the application for an allowance by a person described in paragraph 19(6)(f) or 21(9)(d) is approved while that person is incarcerated, payment of their allowance shall commence in respect of the month in which

Human Resources committee  Clause 5 as amended states: Payment of a pension that is suspended by virtue of subsection 5(3) shall resume in respect of the month in which a pensioner is released but only after they notify the Minister in writing before or after their release.

Human Resources committee  It's on page 4 of the bill: Payment of an allowance that is suspended by virtue of paragraph (6)(f) shall resume in respect of the month in which the spouse or common-law partner is released but only if they (a) have notified the Minister in writing before or after their releas

Human Resources committee  Yes, Madam Chairman. I just want to clarify what I said earlier. There are two types of information. The first type of information is concerning the date of release only. It's covered under clause 11 because of the agreement that will allow for giving this information without the

Human Resources committee  Everything is possible, but it is speculative at this point.

Human Resources committee  It is true that as it is written right now, the wording definitely puts a strict obligation on Correctional Services.

Human Resources committee  The amendment, yes, because it says the inmate “or” Corrections Canada has to notify, so an obligation is being put there. I would also like to say that already built into the bill is a clause that will allow for the transfer of information without the authorization of the inmat

Human Resources committee  Several things need to be said. The first is that I should point out that the information required is not the same. The information provided by the Correctional Service is the date of the release of the individual, while the information to be provided by the detainee is about th

Human Resources committee  I am somewhat less aware of what the Correctional Service does but I will nevertheless try to answer your question. Generally, it depends on what kind of personal information we are dealing with. The Privacy Act restricts the use and acquisition of information about an individua

Human Resources committee  I do not know if it would be more prudent. I believe we need also to take into account the purpose of the legislation and the source of information. You really suggest a two-step process: the individual provides the information to the Correctional Service which then passes it on

Human Resources committee  The language of the act is neutral enough not to set a timeframe as to when the person has to notify. There are two steps. The first step is we have to pay you, we have to reinstate payment. When? When you let us know that you will be released or you are released, payment will oc

Human Resources committee  That is correct. The language seems to be more restrictive and seems to attach the payment to this particular event. It means that if the person did not notify, there is a chance that the payment cannot occur. The way it is drafted is more restrictive.

Human Resources committee  That's correct. It was mainly language that was used mostly in the States, and for a while it was used here in Canada. But because we are not operating under the same system, “presumptive release” is more with earned remission. Now we are going with a different system about parol
