In 2010 the Conservative government introduced a crime bill which would kill the so-called faint hope clause that allows some people serving life sentences to apply for parole after 15 years (instead of the usual 25 common for first-degree murder and other life sentence convictions). Opponents of the crime bill argue that extended prison sentences are cruel and will cost the government tens of millions of dollars per year.Proponents argue that 15 years is too short of a prison term for people serving life sentences.

I think they should serve 20 years minimum. No early releases. After 20+ years they should have eligibility.
Only in some cases and with extremely strict mental tests and other things should be considered like guarded work such.
We should use capital labour as retribution from the crimes committed. This would be within safe conditions; not something inhumane
All depends weather it was done on purpose or by accident
I think it depends on the reason, if somebody was about to be raped/murdered and they had to do it for self defense purposes they should be eligible for a parole hearing.
@8Z3WNDV3yrs3Y
Parole should be decreased to 5 years, and able to be halved if there is good behavior in prison.
depending on how severe or bad the person was and if they have learned their lesson.
Yes, and provide more rehab and strict psychological evaluation

This is a bad question. Every court case or murder is unique, with unique situations and unique motivations. I believe a case-by-case basis on sentencing and carrying out punishment/rehabilitation is what's best.
Depending on the circumstance,
Depending on the situation and remorse of the individual
Should be a case by case situation
NO, they do not get the right to a get out of free jail card.
If he is Change and feel he did a great mistake and he want to change his life by doing good things after letting him out band his visa and check him regularly on the base of his movement.
Prison is not true justice. Its a way to do something negative and then live for free off the money that people who actually function in society work for. That's not justice, its welfare. Social justice and deserved punishment is the way it should be.
Yes. But self-defense and property-protection need to be permitted unimpeded under Canadian law.
After 20 years they should go to court to see if they can go on parole and not jail
I think that not matter what age you are and you illegally commit murder that was not for "self defense" on another human being you should be serving a life sentence because now that person cant live a life so you shouldn't be able to either
No, but we should make prison more humane.
Serial killers and demented psychopathic murderers should be given the death penalty. murders due to anger, passion, and less serious mental problems should have a strict evaluation to show that they're no longer a threat to society.
Yes but only if they have showed change and if they have became more behaved and show that there sorry about doing it.
The crime is too circumstantial for a generalized answer.
@8VFDS8C4yrs4Y
yes after 15 years prison 1 year rehab and a slow integration back into society with supervision and a professional psychiatrist
