637 Youth Parole Board must consider cancelling parole of child or young person charged with terrorism or foreign incursion offences in certain circumstances
Subject to subsection (2), the Youth Parole Board must consider whether to cancel a child's or young person's parole under section 636(1) if—
while on parole, the child or young person is charged with a terrorism or foreign incursion offence that is alleged to have been committed while the person was on parole; and
either the child or young person—
has a terrorism record; or
was released on parole following the Board determining under section 629 that there was a risk that the child or young person would commit a terrorism or foreign incursion offence.
The Youth Parole Board must cancel the child's or young person's parole unless satisfied that—
if the child or young person has been convicted of a terrorism or foreign incursion offence, there are exceptional circumstances that justify the continuation of the parole; or
otherwise, there are compelling reasons that justify the continuation of the parole.
