7 pp.
Application for judicial review of the National Parole Board decision upholding revocation of applicant's day parole under Corrections and Conditional Release Act, s. 135(5)--When granting parole or day parole by way of accelerated review, NPB may impose special conditions offender must comply with, to decrease risk of re-offending non-violently--Under Act, any type of parole may be suspended or revoked--Herein, NPB revoked applicant's parole under Act, s. 135(5)(b)--Applicant argued s. 135(5)(b) allowing revocation of parole ordered under accelerated review procedure only where NPB finds risk of re-offending in violent crime would exceed tolerance level of society--Latter interpretation would mean adding some language not found in s. 135 and it should consequently be rejected--NPB had evidence to show applicant had failed to comply with certain conditions imposed on her in order to reduce her risk of re-offending in non-violent crimes--Application dismissed--Corrections and Conditional Release Act, S.C. 1992, c. 20, s. 135 (am. by S.C. 1995, c. 42, ss. 50, 69(j), 70(d),(e); c. 22, s. 18, sch. IV, s. 19; 1997, c. 17, s. 32.1).
