Consequence of LTO Finding

The imposition of an LTO is part of the sentencing process and so incorporates the purposes and principles of sentencing found in s. 718 to 718.2.

Section 753.1 states that:

753.1
[omis (1) and (2)]

Sentence for long-term offender

(3) If the court finds an offender to be a long-term offender, it shall

(a) impose a sentence for the offence for which the offender has been convicted, which must be a minimum punishment of imprisonment for a term of two years; and

(b) order that the offender be subject to long-term supervision for a period that does not exceed 10 years.

[omis (3.1), (4) and (5), and (6)]

An LTO is a form of conditional release "reserved for an offender who is one step from being sentenced to an indeterminate period of imprisonment."

Under s. 752, instances of the phrase "long-term supervision" refers to "long-term supervision ordered under subsection 753(4), 753.01(5) or (6) or 753.1(3) or subparagraph 759(3)(a)(i)"

Surveillance de longue durée

753.2 (1) Sous réserve du paragraphe (2) [long-term offender order – sentence served concurrently], le délinquant soumis à une surveillance de longue durée est surveillé au sein de la collectivité en conformité avec la Loi sur le système correctionnel et la mise en liberté sous condition lorsqu’il a terminé de purger :

a) d’une part, la peine imposée pour l’infraction dont il a été déclaré coupable;

b) d’autre part, toutes autres peines d’emprisonnement imposées pour des infractions dont il est déclaré coupable avant ou après la déclaration de culpabilité pour l’infraction visée à l’alinéa a).

Note marginale :Peine purgée concurremment avec la surveillance

(2) Toute peine — autre que carcérale — infligée au délinquant visé au paragraphe (1) [long-term offender order – commencement after other sentence] est purgée concurremment avec la surveillance de longue durée.

Order

Exception to long-term supervision — life sentence

755 (1) The court shall not order that an offender be subject to long-term supervision if they have been sentenced to life imprisonment.
[omis (2)]

Duration

Exception to long-term supervision — life sentence

755 [omis (1)]

Maximum length of long-term supervision

(2) The periods of long-term supervision to which an offender is subject at any particular time must not total more than 10 years.
R.S., 1985, c. C-46, s. 755; 1997, c. 17, s. 5; 2008, c. 6, s. 49.

– CCC (CanLII), (Jus.)

---

The dominant consideration when determining the length of the order is the "protection of society."

The judge should assess:

• the risk of re-offending
• the effectiveness of any possible treatment programs.
• "length and level of supervision necessary to provide the required support "
• structure upon release from imprisonment.

There should also be consideration of the severe consequences of a breach including reincarceration for the unexpired balance of the term.

Application to Reduce Duration of LTO

753.2
[omis (1) and (2)]

Application for reduction in period of long-term supervision

(3) An offender who is required to be supervised, a member of the National Parole Board or, on approval of that Board, the offender’s parole supervisor, as defined in subsection 99(1) of the Corrections and Conditional Release Act, may apply to a superior court of criminal jurisdiction for an order reducing the period of long-term supervision or terminating it on the ground that the offender no longer presents a substantial risk of reoffending and thereby being a danger to the community. The onus of proving that ground is on the applicant.

Notice to Attorney General

(4) The applicant must give notice of an application under subsection (3) [application for reduction in period of long-term offender] to the Attorney General at the time the application is made.
1997, c. 17, s. 4; 2008, c. 6, s. 45; 2012, c. 1, s. 147.

– CCC (CanLII), (Jus.)

---

In addition, s. 753.4(2) permits a judge sentencing the offender for a new offence while on an LTO order to reduce the length of the order.

"Danger to the Community"

The meaning of "danger to the community" should be considered in reference to 1) the risk of re-offence and 2) the gravity of the damage in the event of re-offence.

Breach of Long Term Offender Order

Breach of long-term supervision

753.3 (1) An offender who, without reasonable excuse, fails or refuses to comply with long-term supervision is guilty of

(a) an indictable offence and liable to imprisonment for a term of not more than 10 years; or

(b) an offence punishable on summary conviction.

Where accused may be tried and punished

(2) An accused who is charged with an offence under subsection (1) [breach of long-term supervision order] may be tried and punished by any court having jurisdiction to try that offence in the place where the offence is alleged to have been committed or in the place where the accused is found, is arrested or is in custody, but if the place where the accused is found, is arrested or is in custody is outside the province in which the offence is alleged to have been committed, no proceedings in respect of that offence shall be instituted in that place without the consent of the Attorney General of that province.
1997, c. 17, s. 4; 2008, c. 6, s. 46; 2019, c. 25, s. 307.

New offence

753.4 (1) If an offender who is subject to long-term supervision commits one or more offences under this or any other Act and a court imposes a sentence of imprisonment for the offence or offences, the long-term supervision is interrupted until the offender has finished serving all the sentences, unless the court orders its termination.

Reduction in term of long-term supervision

(2) A court that imposes a sentence of imprisonment under subsection (1) [long-term supervision suspended while serving new sentences] may order a reduction in the length of the period of the offender’s long-term supervision.
1997, c. 17, s. 4; 2008, c. 6, s. 47.
