The Issue

Victims First Canada is calling for a national independent investigation into the Parole Board of Canada.

Recent high-profile parole cases across Canada have raised serious questions about whether the federal correctional and parole systems adequately balance offender rehabilitation and reintegration with victims’ rights, public safety, meaningful participation, transparency, and accountability.
Victims, survivors, families, and communities deserve answers.

▶️ We are calling for a fair, transparent investigation of how parole decisions are made, how risks are assessed, and how victims are informed, protected, and supported throughout the process.

▶️ A national independent investigation into the Parole Board of Canada’s decision-making processes, policies, and oversight, including how public-safety risks and victims’ rights are considered.

▶️ Stronger protections for victims and survivors, including meaningful participation, timely and clear information, and appropriate safety measures.

▶️ Concrete, publicly reported reforms based on the investigation’s findings, including updating policies and procedures where needed and establishing clear accountability for implementation.

These concerns deserve careful, evidence-based scrutiny. An investigation can identify what is working, where systems fall short, and what changes are needed to strengthen victims' protections and public confidence.

By signing this petition, you are calling for an investigation and meaningful action to strengthen victims’ rights, improve public safety, and ensure accountability in Canada’s parole system.

Add your name and share the petition to help bring these concerns to decision-makers.

Please sign this petition to demand a safer future for victims and communities in Canada.

Together, we can make a difference.
