Organizational Structure

The National Parole Board is an agency within the Public Safety portfolio. The Board works in partnership with portfolio agencies in pursuit of priorities such as safer communities, but the NPB is unique in many ways. It is an independent administrative tribunal responsible for conditional release decisions for federal offenders and for provincial offenders in provinces and territories without their own parole boards, and for pardon decisions and clemency recommendations. Board members work within a legislative framework involving the Corrections and Conditional Release Act and the Criminal Records Act, and related policies, but are independent in their decision-making responsibilities.
