Bill S-281

44th Parl. 1st Sess.
November 08, 2023
An Act to amend the Corrections and Conditional Act (parole review)
  • This bill, called S-281, is an amendment to the Corrections and Conditional Release Act in Canada. It states that for offenders who are serving a sentence for first or second-degree murder, parole will be reviewed according to specific time frames set by law, rather than being based on the offender's application. This means that once the Parole Board has decided not to grant day or full parole, or has canceled or terminated parole for the offender, their parole will be reviewed again based on these time frames. The full text of the bill can be found on the Senate of Canada's website.
