An Act to amend the Corrections and Conditional Release Act (parole review)

Bill C-243 in 45-1 was a Conservative Private Member's Bill amending the Corrections and Conditional Release Act (S.C. 1992, c. 20) to restrict parole eligibility for offenders convicted of multiple serious violent offences. Brought after the 2024 Public Safety Canada review of high-risk-offender parole-decision outcomes found approximately 3,200 federal-system offenders convicted of multiple violent offences released to community supervision in 2023, with a parole-revocation rate of approximately 11 percent. The bill would have created a statutory presumption against parole release for serial violent offenders, narrowing judicial discretion under section 102 of the CCRA. Companion to 45-1 Bill C-221 (CCRA victim-disclosure expansion).
