Victims Portal Help Centre

Under the Corrections and Conditional Release Act (CCRA), if you are an adult harmed by the crime, you may present a prepared statement at a parole hearing. If the victim is deceased, ill or unable to act, you may represent the victim if:

• you are the spouse or conjugal partner of the victim;
• you are a relative of the victim;
• you have custody of, or are responsible for, a dependent of the victim (ie. a child); and
• you are registered as a victim with the Parole Board of Canada (PBC).

For more information on PBC hearings, see Parole Board Hearings.
