PAROLE

Appeals from decisions dismissing appellants’ judicial review applications of conditions for long-term supervision imposed by National Parole Board (Board) pursuant to Corrections and Conditional Release Act, S.C. 1992, c. 20, s. 134.1—In appellants’ opinion, conditions not respecting requirements of Act, s. 134.1(3) since Board failed to consider duration of conditions imposed—Wording of s. 134.1(3) obliging Board to address duration of conditions—Not enough to insert pre-printed standard clause in decision template to demonstrate Board truly considering duration of conditions imposed—In case at bar, Board’s reasons, read as whole, leading to conclusion that Board considered duration of conditions imposed as Board required to do—Considering seriousness of question of law raised by appellants, clarification emerging from present reasons as to Board’s duty to consider duration of special conditions Board setting under Act, s. 134.1(3), no basis for ordering appellants to pay costs related to appeals—Appeals dismissed.
