Victims Demand Parole Reform | Toronto News

The family of slain Constable Todd Baylis and the Toronto Police Association are demanding sweeping reforms to Canada’s parole system after being blindsided by a rushed parole hearing for Clinton Gayle — the man convicted of Baylis’s 1994 murder. Given just 20 days’ notice and denied a four-week delay to arrange travel, they called the board’s decision a “slap in the face,” arguing the system prioritizes offenders over victims. They’ve appealed directly to the Prime Minister, pushing for longer parole ineligibility periods (from 25 to 35 years) and extended hearing intervals (from 18 to 5 years) to ensure victims’ voices are heard and respected — while the Parole Board insists it’s operating within legal constraints and has notified victims as soon as possible.
