A criminal record significantly hinders a person\u2019s ability to secure employment, pursue studies, obtain housing, credit, insurance, to travel or volunteer. This prejudice is all the more acute for Indigenous and racialized people who are disproportionately convicted and incarcerated by our criminal justice system.<\/p>\n<p>This is not a partisan issue, and the solution should not be partisan, either. The Conservatives can only be blamed for the first three of the 10 years that have passed since this legislation was enacted.

An individual\u2019s criminal record is automatically sealed after a defined period of time. This model acknowledges the principle that a sentence and its societal consequences must end at a defined point in time.<\/p>\n<p>Public safety would not be compromised. As with Canada\u2019s youth records system, police and other justice system participants would retain access to spent records for specific purposes such as criminal investigations. The existing vulnerable-sector check regime that allows certain records to be unsealed if an individual is applying to work or volunteer with vulnerable individuals such as children would also remain in place, ensuring that certain spent records could be disclosed when people apply for these sensitive positions.<\/p>\n<p>Despite a decade of \u201csafe streets\u201d law and policy, Canadians understand the importance of assisting people with criminal records in their efforts to rebuild their lives.<\/p>\n<p>I am convinced that Canadians believe in the promise of a second chance.<\/p>\n<p>Our laws must keep that promise.<\/p>\n<p><em>Ralph Mastromonaco practises criminal law in Montreal.\u00a0He is a member of the national steering committee of the Fresh Start Coalition.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"article-content__share-group article-delimiter\" data-evt=\"beforeunload\" data-evt-typ=\"page_scroll\" data-evt-val=\"{\" control_fields=\"\">\n<h2 class=\"visually-hidden\">Share this article in your social network<\/h2>\n<\/section>\n<div class=\"widget article-content__widget-group article-content__widget-group--slot1\">\n<section aria-labelledby=\"LatestNationalStories1470997484895736784262190808186021\" class=\"list-widget list\" data-async=\"\" data-category-colour=\"default\">\n<ol class=\"list-widget__content list-unstyled list--loading\" data-content-id=\"efa91f45-6950-43c1-8baa-0a919af4ec03\" data-list-component=\"\" data-list-id=\"750b25a8-e919-4c89-97b7-38feb92870d9\" data-list-max=\"5\" data-list-min=\"3\" data-list-name=\"latest-national-stories\" data-list-native_ad_enabled=\"True\" data-list-native_ad_position=\"2\" data-list-pos=\"\" data-list-render=\"widget\" data-list-type=\"wcm-dynamic-list\" data-remove-duplication=\"\" data-template-name=\"feed-card-list\" id=\"efa91f45-6950-43c1-8baa-0a919af4ec03\"> <\/ol>\n<div class=\"visually-hidden js-efa91f45-6950-43c1-8baa-0a919af4ec03-native\">\n<article class=\"ad__native\" data-list-position=\"2\" data-native=\"\">\n<section aria-describedby=\"advertisment9507208229666537988312759300758192\" class=\"ad\">\n<h2 class=\"visually-hidden\" id=\"advertisment9507208229666537988312759300758192\">Advertisement 1<\/h2>\n<div class=\"ad__container\">\n<div class=\"ad__inner ad__inner--native\" id=\"ad__inner-native-1\">\n<div class=\"ad__inner__container\" data-ad=\"[[5,5]]\" data-ad-light-ineligible=\"\" data-ad-loc=\"1\" data-ad-mobile=\"[[5,5]]\" data-ad-ref=\"off\" id=\"ad-native-1\" style=\"\">\n<div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"ad__placeholder\">\n<p> This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/article><\/div>\n<\/section><\/div>\n<div class=\"widget article-content__widget-group article-content__widget-group--slot2\">\n<section aria-labelledby=\"MontrealGazetteHeadlineNews453084079875648617601554928818508\" class=\"newsletter-widget mg-headlinenews\" data-account-id=\"b9d3df2fccd108b5eff3c44f573b2cd6\" data-newsletter=\"single\" data-newsletter-component=\"\" data-target-list=\"MG_HeadlineNews\" data-widget=\"newsletter\"> <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Montreal Gazette Headline News logo\" class=\"newsletter-widget__logo newsletter-widget__logo--MG_HeadlineNews\" height=\"80\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/dcs-static.gstage.postmedia.digital\/10.4.2\/websites\/images\/newsletters\/logo\/newsletter-envelope.svg\" width=\"97\"\/> <\/p>\n<div class=\"newsletter-widget__body\">\n<p class=\"newsletter-widget__text\">Sign up to receive daily headline news from the Montreal Gazette, a division of Postmedia Network Inc.<\/p>\n<div class=\"js-replace-main\">  <small class=\"newsletter-widget__disclaimer text-size--micro\"> By clicking on the sign up button you consent to receive the above newsletter from Postmedia Network Inc.
