 (a)

 (b)

Judicial Consideration -
 
Cadieux v The Director of Mountain Institution and The National Parole Board - (1984), 13 CCC (3d) 330, 41 CR (3d) 30 (FCTD)
  - The Policy and Procedure Manual of the National Parole Board issued pursuant to this Section cannot be said to be "prescribed by law" as that term is used in s1 of the Charter. This conclusion might be different if the Manual was approved by the Governor in Council as required by s3(6) of the Parole Act. Furthermore, the provisions of the Policy and Procedures Manual pertaining to the cancellation or termination of unescorted temporary absences and the non-disclosure of certain material and the reasons for same was held to be too broad to constitute a "reasonable limit" on s7 Charter.
