e-133 (Sentences in the Criminal Code)
E-petition
Initiated by Daniel Cain from Victoria, British Columbia
Original language of petition: English
Petition to the House of Commons
Whereas:
- A convicted murderer who does not disclose the whereabouts of the victim will as a consequence be ineligible for parole and for any other type of release back into the community, and that the amendment will continue in effect for the remainder of the life sentence;
- A convicted murderer who demonstrates a genuine value for rehabilitation and remorse by disclosing the whereabouts of the victim will have the incentive for parole eligibility dates; and
- Families of murder victims deserve the right to victim-centred closure, in addition support, recovery and bereavement.
We, the undersigned, citizens of Canada, call upon the House of Commons to amend the Corrections and Conditional Release Act and the Canadian Victims Bill of Rights, so that any convicted murderer who does not disclose the whereabouts of the victim to the proper authorities, will as a consequence, be ineligible for parole as well as for any other type of release back into the community. The "no body, no parole" amendment will continue in effect for the entire life sentence of those duly convicted murderers who do not demonstrate a genuine value for rehabilitation and remorse through disclosure regarding the whereabouts of the victim. When a convicted murderer discloses the whereabouts of the victim to the proper authorities, the offender will be granted the privilege of having parole eligibility dates and consideration for other types of community release. Every family of a murder victim ought to have victim-centred closure with respect to justice and bereavement.
