Share | Bookmark By Andreas Krebs | February 24 2012 | CDPC Today the Senate Committee looking into Bill C-10 heard from two very different panels. The first represented Corrections Service Canada (CSC) and the Parole Board of Canada. The second had representatives from the John Howard Society of Canada and the Canadian Association of Elizabeth Fry Societies. Both of these latter organizations work towards reforming the justice system and helping offenders—many of whom are themselves victims. Given such mandates, it was no surprise when Kim Pate, Executive Director of Elizabeth Fry, and Catherine Latimer, Executive Eirector of John Howard, both came out against the bill. This opposition met with incomprehension from Senator Lang, who demanded to know how the...

Share | Bookmark Mr. Marc Garneau (Westmount—Ville-Marie, Lib.): Mr. Speaker, I rise today in response to the question of privilege raised on Monday, February 27, by the Minister of Public Safety and also to the consequent intervention by the parliamentary secretary to the government House leader.

They are paid by...
