Document Summary

Led to a change, people were advocating for a change to look at the motives behind murder: many parties such as the ndp were pushing this change. He applied for day parole, was denied: appealed and was granted but he could only stay in ottawa. Unfair, he is from saskatchewan, was serving time in bc and then was moved to ottawa: his application to stay in bc was granted, granted full parole later on. Granted permission to travel to england by supreme court but the parole. Jan 25, 2017: even though he posed no risk. On the fence, what he did was wrong but she was suffering and he wanted to relieve it murder losing his daughter. The other individuals who shared their perspective were more.
