• To enable the Governor in Council to review a supervision order, and on the review, decide the supervision order no longer applies if the Governor in Council is satisfied the released prisoner is no longer a serious danger to the community;

• To establish ‘indeterminate supervision orders’ to enable supervision requirements to apply to a released repeat sex offender, by operation of law; and
