There has recently been a lot of media attention on pardons in Canada mainly because the Tory government is proposing to change the rules of pardons and increase the fees through a proposed Bill C23.
We are against the changes because Bill C23 will make it more difficult and expensive for people to obtain a Canada Pardon, especially now when having a criminal record will prevent people from getting work and traveling to the US. Most employers in the country are running criminal record checks, so even really old convictions will show up and prevent people from getting a job.
Each day we help people obtain a Canada Pardon for old criminal offences and they are hugely grateful for the opportunity of having a second chance in life and being able to move forward without any obstacles.
Below is a wonderful article in support of pardons from the CBC:
