The following excerpt is from Aney v. Canada (Attorney General), 2005 FC 182 (CanLII):
In Dumas v. Leclerc Institute, 1986 CanLII 38 (SCC), [1986] 2 S.C.R. 459 at 464, it was said: [...] In the context of parole, the continued detention of an inmate will only become unlawful if he has acquired the status of parolee. [...] In the present case, the applicant had obtained the status of parolee, therefore he was being deprived of his liberty by the revocation of his parole.
