Public Safety committee  That one was for me.

Public Safety committee  I think it's logical, just in terms of reasoning, that someone who is in a maximum-security institution is much less likely to be released by the parole board than one who is in a minimum-security institution. No matter where they are, though, there are two criteria—

Public Safety committee  Likely, yes, we do have that, so we'll get that to you.

Public Safety committee  Yes, there are two criteria in law. The offender will not, by reoffending, present an undue risk to society before the expiration of their sentence, and—it's not an “or”, it's an “and”—the release of the offender will contribute to the protection of society by facilitating his or

Public Safety committee  Yes, I did receive their CVs. Obviously, they're very distinguished in terms of their education. They're both criminologists. They're teachers, professors in criminology. They had a good understanding, I think, of our business, although you don't want anyone who's overly immersed

Public Safety committee  I don't know. I was in another place in 2012, so I wouldn't know. I would assume that it was very similar to what occurred over this investigation.

Public Safety committee  I don't mind starting with that. These are some good questions. I think the last thing people want to see—and it happens very often in the world of criminal justice—is that we're going to change the law because of one person or one incident. It's not a good way to make policy, a

Public Safety committee  Yes, I was working in the dark there for a couple of seconds. All is good now.

Public Safety committee  Thank you. The emotional dysregulation that occurred after the September hearing.... Let me be clear on that. He did not come into that parole hearing showing any kind of emotional deterioration. As a matter of fact, all points were that he was doing extremely well. What I have

Public Safety committee  To my knowledge—and I will get back to this committee if it's not right—at the March decision, his original parole decision, there was all of that information, and it was up to date. Six months later, it would have still been up to date.

Public Safety committee  If you're asking me, we don't supervise him. It would be up to the Correctional Service of Canada, which is supervising, to ensure those conditions are managed.

Public Safety committee  I'm not sure if I'm losing something in the translation, but the conditions that are imposed by Parole Board members must obviously be related to his criminological risk profile. If they have a drug issue contributing to their original indexed crime, then one would normally have

Public Safety committee  Thank you, Sylvie. It was 2012, so that's eight or nine years ago. The one before that was the murder of Louise Pargeter, a CSC parole officer. These aren't directed. I suppose the commissioner could be directed, but these are things.... When something goes wrong, we want to fin

Public Safety committee  I had the privilege of reading both the redacted and the non-redacted versions. They are redacted according to ATIP requirements. We can't tell them not to put this or that in. They have to meet access to information and privacy requirements with regard to things like the persona

Public Safety committee  You're talking about the correctional investigator. The correctional investigator has absolutely nothing in his mandate about looking into the Parole Board of Canada because we are an administrative tribunal. Maybe his comments were directed towards the Correctional Service of Ca
