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.

@B2Y2J6B2mos2MO
Depends on the case and circumstances, and only after a strict psychological evaluation and rehabilitation
@9WBH4S76mos6MO
I think if a life sentence in Canada is only 25 years. Then re evaluate then. Then they can atemp a hearing to see if they should be back in society
@9H2BYSQ1yr1Y
No because once guilty is always guilty also it doesn't show they learn anything or if they have remorse for what they did
@9GL3GM81yr1Y
If the victim was killed in a violent manor than no parol should be hannded. However if the murder was due to being in a bad place and the criminal has proven they are no longer in a bad place realise them
@97NRTW82yrs2Y
Would need extensive supervision. If crimes are recommitted at the same degree. Death penalty would be the solution there after.
they should not be let out for murder
@92WJS3W3yrs3Y
With equal fund to prisons and social help the parole should be dependent on individuals improvement and failure should look bad on both sides
@8Z5ZGQC3yrs3Y
Depends on why the killing was planned out.
Depends on the mental state and reason for murder. Is self defence should have parole
This will be depend on honourable judge
@8VLQQY34yrs4Y
It depends on the specific scenario
@8VGZWZ24yrs4Y
It will depend on honourable court Judge and criminals record.
@8V2J6FL4yrs4Y
No, but all prisoners should be provided more rehabilitation.
@8THCVNQ4yrs4Y
I think that the current law for first-degree murder parole hearings is fine
@8SGK9N74yrs4Y
No, but prisons should be supporting prisoners and making it a safe environment. They should also have psychologists and psychiatrist available to the prisoners.
@8R3WYS84yrs4Y
Depends how they murdered the person
@8PJ7RLQ4yrs4Y
Maybe, it depends on the type of killing (was it intentional, protecting yourself, etc.)
@8P3HL3F4yrs4Y
Yes, if they did it to escape a horrific situation and get them psychiatrist help regardless of their situation.
@8GLXM955yrs5Y
Yes, but instead of full parole maybe move them from a maximum security prison to a medium and have another hearing later.
@8DZNDXK5yrs5Y
Yes, if they are no longer a threat to society AND they have been successfully rehabilitated through access to culturally appropriate resources and supports
@8D62R4R5yrs5Y
if they have been good in prison
@98CQJFR2yrs2Y
No, they shouldn't get a chance at release but a chance to be transferred to a rehabilitation program
@8NKBW9JNew Democratic4yrs4Y
Prisons should be abolished and rehabilitation and restoration should be the goal.
@8DNJDJP5yrs5Y
Depends on their act, and if they aren't wrongfully accused or framed. Sure provide an evaluation to show they aren't a threat to society.
