Parole Board of Canada

The Parole Board of Canada (French: Comité de probation du Canada) is responsible for administering the parole and probation program at the federal level in Canada. Each of the 13 provinces and five territories have their own provincial/territorial system, as does the federal capital of Ottawa; typically, only the most serious offences come under federal jurisdiction, with eligible offenders thus dealt with by the Parole Board of Canada. The Parole Board of Canada is a division of Public Security Canada.
