An Alberta First: UCP government announces provincial parole board
SHARE ON:
Alberta now has its own parole board.
The new independent provincial parole board aims to provide a fairer, faster, and more responsive justice system that better protects Albertans.
UCP Justice Minister, Kaycee Madu says the Alberta Parole Board is, in part, the result of a lack of action by the federal government in addressing the province’s request for a fair deal in Confederation.
“The Alberta government must continue to assert its jurisdictional authority where it can, like a provincial parole board. The provincial government has assembled a skilled, diverse and experienced team, and I have the utmost confidence in the Alberta Parole Board members to deliver fair decisions on behalf of Albertans,” says Madu.
