Show detail Hide detail

Canadian Committee on Corrections : The Canadian Committee on Corrections was established on 1 June 1965 pursuant to Order in Council P.C. 1965-998. The appointment of Committee Members was made on the advice of the then Minister of Justice, Hon. Guy Favreau. With the realignment of responsibilities between the Department of Justice and the Department of the Solicitor General on 1 January 1966 the Committee came for administrative purposes under the Department of the Solicitor General.

The Committee consisted of the following members: Honourable Roger Ouimet, chairman; G. Arthur Martin, J.R. Lemieux, S.P. McArton and W.T. McGrath.

The Committee's terms of reference were: to study the broad field of corrections, in its widest sense, from the initial investigation of an offence through to the final discharge of a prisoner from imprisonment or parole, including such steps and measures as arrest, summonsing, bail, representation in Court, conviction, probation, sentencing, training, medical and psychiatric attention, release, parole, pardon, post-release supervision and guidance and rehabilitation; to recommend as conclusions are reached, what changes, if any, should be made in the law and practice relating to these matters in order better to assure the protection of the individual and, where possible his rehabilitation, having in mind always adequate protection for the community; and to consider and recommend upon any matters as may later be referred to the Committee; but excluding consideration of specific offenses except where such consideration bears directly upon any of the above mentioned matters.
