Pardons in Canada Saved by Election Call...For NowArticle Summary: Bill C-23B, which was set to make Canadian pardons more difficult to get, has died due to an early election call. Pardons are therefore safe...forthe time being.
Since it was first elected in 2004 Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper's Government has managed to get Parliament to pass a series of measures with a view [url=http://www.sandvikfw.net/shopuk.php]hollister sale[/url] to toughening Canadian criminal law; amendments which were passed include raising the age of sexual consent from 14 to 16, allowing judges to impose consecutive life sentences on those who commit more than one murder, and increasing the waiting period for becoming eligible to apply for a pardon from 5 to 10 years after release from prison for certain serious offenders. The Government was in the process of having more such measures [url=http://www.cocoachina.com/bbs/home.php?mod=spacecp&ac=blog&blogid=]Hollister Pas Cher France Free Bass Fishing Games[/url] passed, including one that had aroused a great deal of controversy - Bill C-23B, a law aimed at making it significantly more difficult to get pardons in Canada. But then the reality of an [url=http://www.davidhabchy.com]barbour outlet[/url] upcoming election struck, meaning that this and all other bills that have been introduced into Parliament are dead for now.
The discussion regarding Bill C-23B, which, if passed, would have renamed pardons "record suspensions", denied them to those who are found guilty of three or more indictable offences, and allowed the Parole Board of Canada more arbitrariness regarding who [url=http://www.maganas.co.uk/category/mulberry-uk-store/]mulberry uk store[/url] to grant pardons to, Late in 2010, The Opposition Liberals and New Democrats slammed [url=http://www.cdtempo.fr/abercrombie-homme/]abercrombie homme[/url] the legislation as [url=http://www.cdtempo.fr/abercrombie-pas-cher/]abercrombie pas cher[/url] a draconian, counterproductive idea. Nonetheless the bill got though second [url=http://www.jewelmer.fr/category/jordan-pas-cher/]jordan pas cher[/url] reading in the House of Commons and was waiting for further assessment in a parliamentary committee, [url=http://www.maganas.co.uk/category/mulberry-factory-shop/]mulberry factory shop[/url] which was going to examine the law in April.
All that changed, however, on 14 March 2011, when the Liberals and New Democrats held the Government in contempt of Parliament due to alleged ethical transgressions largely centered on [url=http://www.meiji-ya.net/cgi-bin/light2.cgi?res=30%22]mulberry outlet york Synopsis[/url] the way in which the Government spent funds and refused to disclose [url=http://www.myip.cn/cgimage.lv]air jordan pas cher Stay in S[/url] these expenditures. This was followed by the Opposition's rejection of the minority Conservative Government's budget proposal, leading to an immediate vote of [url=http://www.sports11.co.uk/category/mulberry/]mulberry[/url] no-confidence, which was sustained by 156 votes to 145. This brought the Government down, and Governor General David Johnson had little choice but to [url=http://www.maxelectrik.fr/louboutin-pas-cher/]louboutin soldes[/url] dissolve Canada's 40th Parliament and call an election, now set for 2 May.
In practical terms, the dissolution of Parliament means that all bills that have been introduced into Parliament (both the House of Commons and the Senate) and not yet passed will now not be debated, including C-23B. Thus, there is no immediate threat that this radical reform to the current pardons system will be implemented.
However, those who are currently eligible for a pardon should not miss the opportunity [url=http://www.zozo.fr/jimmy-choo-paris/]jimmy choo paris[/url] to get one while doing so is still possible under [url=http://www.jewelmer.fr/category/air-jordan-homme/]air jordan homme[/url] current rules. At the time the Government was falling, a poll was released according to which 43% of Canadians would vote for the Conservative party; thus, the possibility that the election could result in a Conservative majority, with the no-confidence vote backfiring on the Opposition, is not negligible. If this happens, we can expect that a new bill, similar in content to the dead C-23B will be introduced into Parliament, perhaps very [url=http://www.aparteprato.it/]outlet moncler milano[/url] soon, and that this time, it will be easily passed. So even though pardons are not slated to become more difficult to get for now, it is quite possible that only a little time has been bought. Now is therefore the best time to apply for a pardon - it could [url=http://www.cdtempo.fr/abercrombie-france-pas-cher/]abercrombie france pas cher[/url] be the last chance before they become "record suspensions" and become unobtainable for more people.
