SUMMARY |
|
|
|
This enactment provides for the transfer, by court order, on
application by the Crown, of a foreign offender serving a sentence of ten
years or more, to a country of which the offender is a citizen and that
consents to accept the offender. Transfer on Crown application may
only be made to countries that provide similar rights of conditional
release to those extant in Canada.

|
|
|
This is in addition to the present provisions that allow a foreign
offender to make an application to the Minister for such a transfer.
