An Act to amend the Corrections and Conditional Release Act (disclosure of information to victims)

Bill C-221 in 45-1 was a Conservative Private Member's Bill amending the Corrections and Conditional Release Act (S.C. 1992, c. 20) to require disclosure of additional victim-related information by the federal Correctional Service of Canada and the Parole Board of Canada. Currently the CCRA provides victims with notification of certain offender milestones (parole-eligibility dates, deportation orders, escape incidents) but the bill would expand disclosure to include disclosed treatment-program enrolment, security-classification changes (post-Bernardo May 2023 transfer controversy), and inmate-financial-account holdings. Builds on the 2015 Canadian Victims Bill of Rights (S.C. 2015, c. 13, s. 2) framework. The bill paralleled 44-1 Bill S-206 (which became law). Did not pass second reading in 45-1.
