Bill C-221 seeks to amend the Corrections and Conditional Release Act to improve the disclosure of information to victims. The primary objective is to ensure that victims are better informed about offenders who have affected them, which may include details about parole releases and other relevant aspects of their correctional status.

The main provisions of the bill include requiring the correctional system to provide victims with information about offenders, such as parole dates, transfers between facilities, and other pertinent information that may impact victims' sense of safety.

The act being amended is the Corrections and Conditional Release Act, which currently governs how information is shared with victims and other stakeholders.

The individuals primarily affected by this bill are crime victims, who will benefit from increased transparency and better access to information regarding offenders. The entities affected include the Correctional Service of Canada and the Parole Board of Canada, which will need to adjust their communication practices.
