Bill Pr9, An Act respecting The
Elliott. Mr. Arnott.
With unanimous consent, on
motion by Mr. Bartolucci,
Avec le consentement unanime,
sur la motion de M. Bartolucci,
Resolved, That the Legislative
Assembly of Ontario calls upon the Solicitor General to undertake
the following three directives, as demanded by the JoeMac
Committee during its February 18, 2002 meeting with Mr.
MacAulay:
1. Ensure the immediate return
of Clinton Suzack and Peter Pennett to maximum security to serve
the duration of their 25-year sentence for the first-degree
murder of Constable Joe MacDonald.
2. Order an external review of
Correctional Services of Canada in light of compelling and
irrefutable evidence that CSC continues to pursue a dangerous and
illegal policy whereby prisoners are cascaded to lower security
settings and ultimately freedom, based not on individual risk
assessments but on meeting numerical targets or
'quotas'.
3. Follow through with a
commitment made in April 2000 before a Federal Justice Committee
whereby he denied the existence of the aforementioned policy and
offered to confirm this in writing to the CSC Commissioner,
Wardens and Staff that the prisoners must not be cascaded to
lower security settings and ultimately, freedom based on
numerical quotas.
