Horizontal Initiatives
The Board will become involved in the National Anti-Drug Strategy following Royal Assent for legislative proposals calling for introduction of mandatory minimum penalties for serious drug offences. Current plans call for provision of $7.5 million for PBC over four years, including $2.2 million in 2011-12 to manage increased numbers of conditional release reviews as a result of mandatory minimum sentences. This following table illustrates the planned spending and expected results for each of the program activities.

[1] Should the proposed legislation receive Royal Assent this funding will provide the PBC the capacity for effective management of its legislated responsibilities for parole decision-making for offenders in relation to the requirements of the new legislation. PBC will collect information and report on workloads and outcomes of parole for provincial offenders incarcerated as a result of new legislative provisions (e.g., the number and proportion of offenders who successfully complete their parole).
[2] Should the proposed legislation receive Royal Assent this funding will provide the PBC the capacity for provision of information and assistance to victims of crime, observers at hearings and individuals who seek access to decision registry in relation to the requirements of the new legislation. In a similar manner, PBC will report on the extent of involvement of victims, and observers in conditional release processes and the level of satisfaction of these individuals with the information and assistance provided by PBC. Effective management of both these responsibilities will contribute to public safety and reinforce public confidence in the justice system.
