The Parole Board of Canada has launched another online consultation concerning the user fee for applying for a record suspension (pardon). We can only hope that the results it received are taken with greater consideration than the last time.<\/p>\n

Under the previous Conservative government the Parole Board increased the filing fee for pardons from $50 to $150. Incredibly it was then increased again to $631 in an effort to gain \u201cfull cost recovery\u201d.<\/p>\n

The response to the online consultation that time around was overwhelmingly against the increase. However in a move that was surprising to no one, the increase went ahead.<\/p>\n

The good news is that this time around we have a Liberal government in charge and this administration already appears to be less dogmatic on matters relating to criminal justice. Of course the government is young and since politics is politics we can never really be sure what will happen.<\/p>\n

But I\u2019m feeling fairly confident about Canada\u2019s pardon program for the first time in about 8 years. The previous administration clearly used criminal justice as a political platform and the results were disastrous.<\/p>\n

I encourage everyone to complete the survey even if I don\u2019t really believe the results of it will have any effect on the final decision.<\/p>\n

For the record, I think we\u2019re headed towards a two tier fee system which, frankly, \u00a0seems perfectly reasonable.<\/p>\n
