Principes généraux

Le tribunal a le pouvoir en vertu de l'art. 743.6 pour retarder l'admissibilité à la libération conditionnelle à la moitié de la peine globale ou à 10 ans, selon la valeur la moins élevée.

Pouvoir judiciaire d’augmentation du temps d’épreuve

743.6 (1) Par dérogation au paragraphe 120(1) de la Loi sur le système correctionnel et la mise en liberté sous condition, le tribunal peut, s’il est convaincu, selon les circonstances de l’infraction, du caractère et des particularités du délinquant, que la réprobation de la société à l’égard de l’infraction commise ou l’effet dissuasif de l’ordonnance l’exige, ordonner que le délinquant condamné le 1er novembre 1992 ou par la suite, sur déclaration de culpabilité par mise en accusation, à une peine d’emprisonnement d’au moins deux ans — y compris une peine d’emprisonnement à perpétuité à condition que cette peine n’ait pas constitué un minimum en l’occurrence — pour une infraction mentionnée aux annexes I ou II de cette loi, purge, avant d’être admissible à la libération conditionnelle totale, le moindre de la moitié de sa peine ou dix ans.

Note marginale :Exception dans le cas d’une organisation criminelle

(1.1) Par dérogation à l’article 120 de la Loi sur le système correctionnel et la mise en liberté sous condition, le tribunal peut ordonner que le délinquant qui, pour une infraction d’organisation criminelle autre qu’une infraction prévue aux articles 467.11, 467.111, 467.12 ou 467.13, est condamné sur déclaration de culpabilité à une peine d’emprisonnement de deux ans ou plus  —  y compris une peine d’emprisonnement à perpétuité à condition que cette peine n’ait pas constitué un minimum en l’occurrence  —  purge, avant d’être admissible à la libération conditionnelle totale, la moitié de sa peine jusqu’à concurrence de dix ans.

Note marginale :Pouvoir judiciaire de retarder la libération conditionnelle

(1.2) Par dérogation à l’article 120 de la Loi sur le système correctionnel et la mise en liberté sous condition, le tribunal est tenu, sauf s’il est convaincu, compte tenu des circonstances de l’infraction et du caractère et des particularités du délinquant, que la réprobation de la société à l’égard de l’infraction commise et l’effet dissuasif de l’ordonnance auraient la por-tée voulue si la période d’inadmissibilité était déterminée conformément à cette loi, d’ordonner que le délinquant condamné à une peine d’emprisonnement d’au moins deux ans — y compris une peine d’emprisonnement à perpétuité  — pour une infraction de terrorisme ou une infraction prévue aux articles 467.11, 467.111, 467.12 ou 467.13 purge, avant d’être admissible à la libération conditionnelle totale, la moitié de sa peine jusqu’à concurrence de dix ans.

Note marginale :Principes devant guider le tribunal

(2) Il demeure entendu que les principes suprêmes qui doivent guider le tribunal dans l’application du présent article sont la réprobation de la société et l’effet dissuasif, la réadaptation du délinquant étant, dans tous les cas, subordonnée à ces principes suprêmes.

Power of court to delay parole

743.6 (1) Notwithstanding subsection 120(1) of the Corrections and Conditional Release Act, where an offender receives, on or after November 1, 1992, a sentence of imprisonment of two years or more, including a sentence of imprisonment for life imposed otherwise than as a minimum punishment, on conviction for an offence set out in Schedule I or II to that Act that was prosecuted by way of indictment, the court may, if satisfied, having regard to the circumstances of the commission of the offence and the character and circumstances of the offender, that the expression of society’s denunciation of the offence or the objective of specific or general deterrence so requires, order that the portion of the sentence that must be served before the offender may be released on full parole is one half of the sentence or ten years, whichever is less.

Power of court to delay parole

(1.1) Notwithstanding section 120 of the Corrections and Conditional Release Act, where an offender receives a sentence of imprisonment of two years or more, including a sentence of imprisonment for life imposed otherwise than as a minimum punishment, on conviction for a criminal organization offence other than an offence under section 467.11 [participation in Activities of Criminal Organization], 467.111 [recrutement de membres par une organisation criminelle], 467.12 [commission of offense for criminal organisation] or 467.13 [ordonner la commission d'une infraction pour organisation criminelle], the court may order that the portion of the sentence that must be served before the offender may be released on full parole is one half of the sentence or ten years, whichever is less.

Power of court to delay parole

(1.2) Notwithstanding section 120 of the Corrections and Conditional Release Act, where an offender receives a sentence of imprisonment of two years or more, including a sentence of imprisonment for life, on conviction for a terrorism offence or an offence under section 467.11 [participation in Activities of Criminal Organization], 467.111 [recrutement de membres par une organisation criminelle], 467.12 [commission of offense for criminal organisation] or 467.13 [ordonner la commission d'une infraction pour organisation criminelle], the court shall order that the portion of the sentence that must be served before the offender may be released on full parole is one half of the sentence or ten years, whichever is less, unless the court is satisfied, having regard to the circumstances of the commission of the offence and the character and circumstances of the offender, that the expression of society’s denunciation of the offence and the objectives of specific and general deterrence would be adequately served by a period of parole ineligibility determined in accordance with the Corrections and Conditional Release Act.

Principles that are to guide the court

(2) For greater certainty, the paramount principles which are to guide the court under this section are denunciation and specific or general deterrence, with rehabilitation of the offender, in all cases, being subordinate to these paramount principles.

The test for delayed release is whether the court is "satisfied, having regard to the circumstances of the commission of the offence and the character and circumstances of the offender, that the expression of society’s denunciation of the offence or the objective of specific or general deterrence so requires, order that the portion of the sentence that must be served before the offender may be released on full parole is one half of the sentence or ten years, whichever is less."

Toute considération relative à l'application de cet article doit être conforme à l'équité procédurale et donner à la défense la possibilité de répondre à la demande. Dans la mesure du possible, un préavis doit être donné à la défense.

L'incapacité d'un jury à formuler une recommandation sur l'inadmissibilité à la libération conditionnelle n'empêche pas un juge de prendre une décision sur l'inadmissibilité à la libération conditionnelle, qui a toujours le dernier mot sur la peine.
