Go items conditional release was authorized on dec. 23, National parole Board spokeswoman Arti Jolly said. The Stetson wearing Guite who defended himself during his trial will have served about one sixth of his 42 month prison term when he is released in february. Whenever theress no violent element to the crime offenders Are eligible to have accelerated review and have a potential release Date considerably earlier Jolly said. Guite is eligible for Day parole on feb. 15 and full parole on sept. 16, correctional service Canada spokesman Jeff Campbell said. He said Guite would Likely reside in a Halfway House while on Day parole and will be free to return to his own residence once hers fully paroled. But even when somebody yes on full parole theress requirements to report to their parole officer Guite will Complete his sentence on Jan. 16, 2012, Campbell said. Guite who left the Federal government in 1999, was in charge of the Federal sponsorship program where friends of the Federal liberals were paid for Little or no work. A jury convicted him in 2006 on All five charges he faced in connection with allegations he defrauded the Federal government of about $ 2 million. Upon his conditional release Guite will be asked to provide a monthly financial report Jolly said. The Quebec court of Appeal upheld the conviction and the 42 month prison term last july. The court ruled the evidence against Guite was so overwhelming there was no reasonable Chance of a different verdict. Guite had hoped the court would bring his prison term in line with those Given to two other players in the scandal and executives Jean Brault and Paul coffin who were Given sentences of 30 months and 18 months respectively. The sponsorship program was supposed to promote National Unity in the Wake of the narrow Victory by federalists in the 1995 Quebec referendum. The Canadian press bureaucrat in sponsorship scandal granted parole by Andy Blatchford a n unprecedented decline in the number of children in Canada is creating Ripples from toy store aisles to school hallways and hockey Arenas forcing a new approach to a shrinking child population. I often say what happened to elementary schools yesterday happens to High schools today and happens to College and University enrolments tomorrow says David foot a University of Toronto economist and author of Boom bust and Echo. It does not mean theress no Market there but its not a growth Market Canadas under 15 population fell by almost 146,000 or 2.5 per cent Between 2001 and 2006, the latest census figures show and is now at 5.6 million. Just after the height of the baby Boom in 1961, More than one third of the population 34 per cent was under 15 years old but by 2006, declining birth rates meant less than 18 per cent fit into that age group. Statistics Canada projects the 65 plus population could outnumber children in 10 years. Weave rapidly come to the realization that weave got a decreasing customer base out there says Glen Mccurdie senior director of member services for hockey Canada the governing body for Amateur hockey. Right now we feel if we Are Able to maintain our registrations at the current level then were doing a hell of a Job. So far they ave managed to do so with registration for players aged four through the upper teens fluctuating Between about 532,000 and 558,000 since the 2002/ 2003 season. The organization has been actively recruiting girls and immigrants less familiar with the game to bolster its ranks he says. I think weave been victims of our Success there he says. I think As Canadas National sport we just open the doors and accept people that show up. Our attitude is thatus not necessarily Good enough anymore and we need to find ways to change that. Swimming Canada has enjoyed a 10 per cent boost in Young competitive swimmers this year after Flat lining at about 28,000 since 2000, says communications director Martin Richard but he attributes that to Post olympic excitement and healthy lifestyle choices offsetting the population shift. But organizers of Amateur swimming soccer and hockey All say adult players Are becoming an increasingly important part of their membership and growth strategy in Canada. Were looking at the writing on the Wall with respect to demographics and we need to expand our boundaries beyond 19 and 20 year Olds and look at adults playing the game As Well Mccurdie says. The situation is complicated by the fact that the declining population of children is unevenly distributed says Shaune Mackinlay spokeswoman for the Halifax regional school Board. Schools in growing suburbs Are bursting at the seams she says while some City Core schools languish half empty and Short on funding. It creates a bit of a conundrum for us she says. While were faced with declining enrolments Over All we still have pressure Points within our school system. At the level of Post secondary education foot at u of t says institutions Are ignoring demographic realities and planning to expand just when the enrolment Bubble is about to implode. Universities could adjust by marketing themselves to International students he says.
