The applicant, serving a life sentence for first-degree murder, sought judicial review of a decision denying his final-level grievance regarding his offender security level and a transfer request to a minimum-security facility.
The Court held that Charter arguments raised for the first time on judicial review were not properly before it.
The Court further found that the decision-making process was procedurally fair, as there was no obligation to disclose internal recommendations prior to the Warden's decision.
Finally, applying the Vavilov framework, the Court concluded that the decision maintaining a moderate escape risk and public safety risk was reasonable and adequately justified by the inmate's history and continued denial of involvement in the index offences.
The application was dismissed with no costs awarded.
