Mr. Toews made it clear he wants to make it harder for the board to issue pardons for some crimes, including those of a sexual nature, compared to pardons for offences like an impaired driving charge.

Given “certain types of criminals cannot be rehabilitated,” he said, the National Parole Board will eventually have to consider “substantive differences between certain types of crimes” and the “pattern of criminal activity” in making its decisions.

However, he said he will not politicize the process by involving a minister in the review or approval for the 35,000 annual requests for pardons. “The option is legislative change rather than changing who makes the determination,” he said.

What a load of political crap. The parole was issued under his government. Now he says his government is not doing its job.

Where in the heck does he get all these conclusions. Probably from drunk drivers?
