Sweet v. Canada (Attorney General)

The initial move to the RTC was a transfer under s.29 of the Act, but the decision to discharge the inmate from the RTC and promptly return him to his parent institution following breach of program conditions did not constitute a further 'transfer' requiring the s.12 procedural notice and delay; the requisite level of procedural fairness for the discharge was low and was met by an investigation, opportunity to respond and availability of the grievance process; appeal dismissed.

  • Transfer of inmates
  • Escorted temporary absence
  • Duty of procedural fairness
  • Interpretation of s.29 and s.17 of the corrections and conditional release act
