Gender-Based Analysis Plus (GBA+)
Institutional GBA+ capacity |
The Parole Board of Canada (PBC) provides data analysis to Public Safety in support of GBA+, as Public Safety Canada is responsible for developing legislative policy. In 2019-20, the PBC has strengthened its internal GBA+ capacity through the development of a PBC GBA+ Framework. The PBC GBA+ Framework serves as the PBC's statement of intent and seeks to build and sustain the practice. A PBC GBA+ Working Group was established to implement the various elements identified within the framework and to ensure that GBA+ is applied in all areas of PBC’s policies, programs, and initiatives. One of the main deliverables of the working group in 2019-20 was the completion of an analysis of sex/gender information display and collection in order to meet the objectives of the Government of Canada policy direction to modernize sex and gender information. The scope of the analysis included all forms, system applications, and template letters/correspondence generated by the PBC. Recommendations from the working group were approved by the PBC’s Senior Management Committee in March 2020. |

Conditional Release Decisions |
In 2019-20, initial gender-based analysis plus (GBA+) of conditional release data indicates that there were no significant disparities between different groups in terms of actual results, with the exception of the indicator for Appeals. While the overall affirmed decision rate for Appeals was 79%, it was only 69% for Indigenous offenders. Evidence also suggests that women and Indigenous offenders appeal PBC decisions less frequently than other offenders although the reasons for this are not clear and will be investigated further.
