Bill C-236 — Loi modifiant le Code criminel, la Loi sur le système correctionnel et la mise en liberté sous condition et la Loi sur les prisons et les maisons de correction
Loi sur la lutte contre la victimisation continue des familles des victimes d'homicide
This proposed law wants to change the rules about parole for people convicted of murder. Right now, families of murder victims can share how the crime affected them in court. This proposed law would let them also share their feelings at parole hearings. Parole hearings decide if a prisoner should be released early. The proposed law also wants to make it more difficult for murderers to get parole. This means they might have to stay in prison longer. This proposed law would mainly affect families of murder victims and people serving time for murder. It gives families a bigger voice in the parole process. It could also mean that some murderers stay in prison for a longer time before being considered for release. This proposed law matters because it could change how the justice system balances the rights of victims and offenders. Some people think it's important for families to be heard at parole hearings. Others might worry that making parole harder to get could be unfair or not help with rehabilitation.
My colleague has a plan to make penalties tougher for people who kill if they don't say where the body is. I want to know if this plan would help the families you work with.
I think it's important to find the remains of victims and give them back to their families. But I have worries about this bill. It might not follow the rules in the Charter, and it might not make parole any longer. I'm not sure it helps victims.
I think families of victims have a right to know where their loved one's body is. My party will support this bill so we can learn more about how other countries deal with this, and make sure we help families without being too hard on prisoners.
Where this proposed law falls on the policy spectrums that Canadians care about

Inscription gratuite — 30 sCe projet de loi vise à aider les familles des victimes d'homicide en tenant compte du refus d'un criminel de révéler l'emplacement du corps lors de la détermination de la peine et de la libération conditionnelle. Cependant, il ne couvre pas les situations où l'information est fournie tardivement, et l'impact réel dépendra de la façon dont les tribunaux et les commissions des libérations conditionnelles appliqueront ces nouvelles règles.
Things to Watch For
- Le projet de loi ne précise pas comment l'information sur la localisation du corps sera vérifiée.
- Il n'est pas clair si la peine sera réduite si l'information est fournie après un certain temps.
- Les critères pour déterminer si la société est suffisamment protégée par une période d'inadmissibilité à la libération conditionnelle plus courte ne sont pas définis.
- Le projet de loi ne prévoit pas de soutien aux familles pendant la période où l'information est retenue.
- Il n'y a aucune garantie que la pression exercée par cette loi mènera réellement à la découverte de restes humains.

How likely this proposed law is to be approved
This is a private member's proposed law, meaning it wasn't proposed by the government, and these rarely pass. It's only at the second reading stage, suggesting it hasn't gained much traction.
