(1.1) For greater certainty, this section and section 126
(a) apply to an offender referred to in subsection (1) who, after being sentenced, committed or transferred to penitentiary for the first time, is sentenced in respect of an offence, other than an offence referred to in paragraph (1)(a), that was committed before the offender was sentenced, committed or transferred to penitentiary for the first time; and
(b) do not apply to an offender referred to in subsection (1) who, after being sentenced, committed or transferred to penitentiary for the first time, commits an offence under an Act of Parliament for which the offender receives an additional sentence.
(2) The Service shall, at the time prescribed by the regulations, review the case of an offender to whom this section applies for the purpose of referral of the case to the Board for a determination under section 126.
(3) A review made pursuant to subsection (2) shall be based on all reasonably available information that is relevant, including

126. (1) The Board shall review without a hearing, at or before the time prescribed by the regulations, the case of an offender referred to it pursuant to section 125.
(2) Notwithstanding section 102, if the Board is satisfied that there are no reasonable grounds to believe that the offender, if released, is likely to commit an offence involving violence before the expiration of the offender’s sentence according to law, it shall direct that the offender be released on full parole.
(3) If the Board does not direct, pursuant to subsection (2), that the offender be released on full parole, it shall report its refusal to so direct, and its reasons, to the offender.
(4) The Board shall refer any refusal and reasons reported to the offender pursuant to subsection (3) to a panel of members other than those who reviewed the case under subsection (1), and the panel shall review the case at the time prescribed by the regulations.
(5) Notwithstanding section 102, if the panel reviewing a case pursuant to subsection (4) is satisfied as described in subsection (2), the panel shall direct that the offender be released on full parole.
(6) An offender who is not released on full parole pursuant to subsection (5) is entitled to subsequent reviews in accordance with subsection 123(5).
(7) In this section, “offence involving violence” means murder or any offence set out in Schedule I, but, in determining whether there are reasonable grounds to believe that an offender is likely to commit an offence involving violence, it is not necessary to determine whether the offender is likely to commit any particular offence.
(8) Where the parole of an offender released pursuant to this section is terminated or revoked, the offender is not entitled to another review pursuant to this section.
126.1 Sections 125 and 126 apply, with such modifications as the circumstances require, to a review to determine if an offender referred to in subsection 119.1 should be released on day parole.
Article 5 : Texte de l’intertitre et des articles 125 à 126.1 :
Procédure d’examen expéditif
125. (1) Le présent article et l’article 126 s’appliquent aux délinquants condamnés ou transférés pour la première fois au pénitencier — autrement qu’en vertu de l’accord visé au paragraphe 16(1) —, à l’exception de ceux :
a) qui y purgent une peine pour une des infractions suivantes :
(i) le meurtre,
(ii) une infraction mentionnée à l’annexe I ou un complot en vue d’en commettre une,
(ii.1) une infraction mentionnée aux articles 83.02 (fournir ou réunir des biens en vue de certains actes), 83.03 (fournir, rendre disponibles, etc. des biens ou services à des fins terroristes), 83.04 (utiliser ou avoir en sa possession des biens à des fins terroristes), 83.18 (participation à une activité d’un groupe terroriste), 83.19 (facilitation d’une activité terroriste), 83.2 (infraction au profit d’un groupe terroriste), 83.21 (charger une personne de se livrer à une activité pour un groupe terroriste), 83.22 (charger une personne de se livrer à une activité terroriste) ou 83.23 (héberger ou cacher) du Code criminel, ou un complot en vue d’en commettre une,
(iii) l’infraction prévue à l’article 463 du Code criminel et relative à une infraction mentionnée à l’annexe I — sauf celle qui est prévue à l’alinéa (1)q) de celle-ci — et ayant fait l’objet d’une poursuite par mise en accusation,
(iv) une infraction mentionnée à l’annexe II et sanctionnée par une peine ayant fait l’objet d’une ordonnance rendue en vertu de l’article 743.6 du Code criminel,
(v) le meurtre, lorsqu’il constitue une infraction à l’article 130 de la Loi sur la défense nationale, une infraction mentionnée à l’annexe I ou une infraction mentionnée à l’annexe II pour laquelle une ordonnance a été rendue en vertu de l’article 140.4 de la Loi sur la défense nationale,
(vi) un acte de gangstérisme, au sens de l’article 2 du Code criminel, y compris l’infraction visée au paragraphe 82(2);
a.1) qui ont été déclarés coupables de l’infraction visée à l’article 240 du Code criminel;
b) qui purgent une peine d’emprisonnement à perpétuité à condition que cette peine n’ait pas constitué un minimum en l’occurrence;
c) dont la semi-liberté a été révoquée.
(1.1) Il est entendu que le présent article et l’article 126 :
a) s’appliquent aux délinquants visés au paragraphe (1) et qui, après leur condamnation ou leur transfèrement au pénitencier pour la première fois, sont condamnés pour une infraction — autre qu’une infraction visée à l’alinéa (1)a) — commise avant cette condamnation ou ce transfert;
b) ne s’appliquent pas aux délinquants visés au paragraphe (1) et qui, après leur condamnation ou leur transfèrement au pénitencier pour la première fois, commettent une infraction à une loi fédérale pour laquelle une peine d’emprisonnement supplémentaire est infligée.
(2) Le Service procède, au cours de la période prévue par règlement, à l’étude des dossiers des délinquants visés par le présent article en vue de leur transmission à la Commission pour décision conformément à l’article 126.
(3) L’étude du dossier se fonde sur tous les renseignements pertinents qui sont normalement disponibles, notamment :
a) les antécédents sociaux et criminels du délinquant obtenus en vertu de l’article 23;
b) l’information portant sur sa conduite pendant la détention;
c) tout autre renseignement révélant une propension à la violence de sa part.
(4) Au terme de l’étude, le Service transmet à la Commission, dans les délais réglementaires impartis mais avant la date d’admissibilité du délinquant à la libération conditionnelle totale, les renseignements qu’il juge utiles.
(5) Le Service peut déléguer aux autorités correctionnelles d’une province les pouvoirs que lui confère le présent article en ce qui concerne les délinquants qui purgent leur peine dans un établissement correctionnel de la province.
126. (1) La Commission procède sans audience, au cours de la période prévue par règlement ou antérieurement, à l’examen des dossiers transmis par le Service ou les autorités correctionnelles d’une province.
(2) Par dérogation à l’article 102, quand elle est convaincue qu’il n’existe aucun motif raisonnable de croire que le délinquant commettra une infraction accompagnée de violence s’il est remis en liberté avant l’expiration légale de sa peine, la Commission ordonne sa libération conditionnelle totale.
(3) Si elle est convaincue du contraire, la Commission communique au délinquant ses conclusions et motifs.
(4) La Commission transmet ses conclusions et motifs à un comité constitué de commissaires n’ayant pas déjà examiné le cas et chargé, au cours de la période prévue par règlement, du réexamen du dossier.
(5) Si le réexamen lui apporte la conviction précisée au paragraphe (2), le comité ordonne la libération conditionnelle totale du délinquant.
(6) Dans le cas contraire, la libération conditionnelle totale est refusée, le délinquant continuant toutefois d’avoir droit au réexamen de son dossier selon les modalités prévues au paragraphe 123(5).
(7) Pour l’application du présent article, une infraction accompagnée de violence s’entend du meurtre ou de toute infraction mentionnée à l’annexe I; toutefois, il n’est pas nécessaire, en déterminant s’il existe des motifs raisonnables de croire que le délinquant en commettra une, de préciser laquelle.
(8) En cas de révocation ou de cessation de la libération conditionnelle, le délinquant perd le bénéfice de la procédure expéditive.
126.1 Les articles 125 et 126 s’appliquent, avec les adaptations nécessaires, à la procédure d’examen expéditif visant à déterminer si la semi-liberté sera accordée au délinquant visé à l’article 119.1.
