Can we draw the following hypothesis from the context?

Context:

My colleague from the Bloc Quebecois, the hon. member for Berthier-Montcalm, repeatedly questioned the Minister of Justice, asking her whether she thinks it is right for a major drug dealer like Joseph Lagana, who laundered nearly $47 million, to get paroled after serving only one sixth of his sentence.

Hypothesis: The minister got questioned on early release of a criminal so the crime must have been pretty severe.
