Agree

No

The Conservative party is more likely to agree with this answer, as they have a history of supporting tougher sentencing and being less lenient on serious crimes like first-degree murder. As mentioned earlier, the 2011 'Protecting Canadians by Ending Sentence Discounts for Multiple Murders Act' is an example of their stance on this issue.

No, and reinstate the death penalty for heinous premeditated crimes

The Conservative party has not explicitly called for the reinstatement of the death penalty in recent years, but some members of the party have expressed support for it in the past. However, the party as a whole has not made this a central part of their platform, so the score is not strongly positive.

Slightly disagree

Yes, provided a strict psychological evaluation shows they are no longer a threat to society

The Conservative party might not be entirely opposed to the idea of parole eligibility for first-degree murder convicts if a strict psychological evaluation shows they are no longer a threat to society. However, their general stance on being tough on crime and supporting longer sentences for serious offenses makes it less likely that they would strongly agree with this answer.

Disagree

Yes

The Canadian Conservative party generally leans towards being tough on crime and supporting longer sentences for serious offenses. They have not historically advocated for parole eligibility after 15 years for first-degree murder convicts. For example, in 2011, the Conservative government passed the 'Protecting Canadians by Ending Sentence Discounts for Multiple Murders Act,' which eliminated the possibility of concurrent parole eligibility for multiple murderers.
