What the bill does

Bill C-243 would amend the Corrections and Conditional Release Act for offenders serving sentences for first- or second-degree murder.

• Day parole: After the Board reviews a case and does not grant day parole, or cancels or terminates parole, the offender could not make a further application for day parole.
• Full parole: The same restriction would apply to further applications for full parole after the Board does not grant it, or cancels or terminates parole.

Reviews and existing law

• The bill’s summary says that, in these cases, parole would instead be reviewed according to statutory time frames, not on the offender’s application.
• The new restrictions would apply despite existing subsections 122(4) and 123(6). The provided text does not set out those subsections or specify the review time frames.
