We received the following letter from the Parole Board of Canada and the first thing that struck me about it is the clear change in attitude. Under the Conservative government’s direction there would have been no inclusion in a discussion of this sort. When I spoke at the Standing Committee that…
The Parole Board of Canada has launched another online consultation concerning the user fee for applying for a record suspension (pardon). We can only hope that the results it received are taken with greater consideration than the last time. Under the previous Conservative government the Parole Board increased the filing…
Pardon statistics are a bit more confusing than need be largely due to the crime bill introduced by the Conservative government in 2012. In case you haven’t heard pardons are now called record suspensions. For more information on that click below: Omnibus Crime Bill It should be noted that pardon…
