In May of 2010 the Conservative government announced a bill to essentially eliminate pardons, in favour of more narrowly defined "criminal record suspensions," thereby making it much harder for people convicted of a crime to be granted a pardon.
Under new legislation the time period that a convicted felon has to wait prior to applying for a Canadian Pardon has increased from three years to five for a summary offense, and from five years to ten for an indictable offense.
The average age of the homeless people living in Canadian shelters is between the ages of thirty-five and fifty-five, and they have been drifting across this country in search of food, shelter and employment for the past twenty to thirty years.
In the 1980's only 5% of this homeless population mentioned above had a criminal record, today over 70% of them now have a criminal record with charges ranging from totalitarian to completely moronic, for example; urinating in a public place could land you a prison term and then a life sentence down at one of the Canadian Homeless Shelters.
According to Pardons Canada four million people can not find suitable employment, ascertain a post-secondary education, or cross the American border due to criminal record checks, thereby leaving them as unproductive citizens in society with a higher aptitude to re-offend.
It would be interesting to know how many of Canada's inmates have resided at a Canadian homeless shelter and were forced into working for Temporary labor Agencies prior to their various convictions .

With that said; Is the federal government prepared to reimburse provincial governments the necessary monies required to house all these unemployed former inmates on social programs while they are awaiting a Canadian Pardon
