Question referred

1.Would the application, to a person convicted of an offence or offences and sentenced to a determinate sentence(s), of amended rules having the effect that he or she will have to serve at least two-thirds of such sentence and then will have only a conditional right to release on licence dependent on an assessment of dangerousness, whereas under the rules applicable at the time of the alleged offences, that person would have been automatically entitled as a matter of law to release on licence once he had served one-half of that sentence, involve the imposition of a ‘heavier penalty’ on the convicted person than the penalty applicable at the time of the alleged offences such as to amount to a breach of Article 49(1) of the Charter?
