 In cases of multiple murder, after considering the jury's recommendation (if there is one), a court may also order that the parole ineligibility period be served consecutively to the one being served.Amendments to the Criminal Code in 2011 permit the judge to impose consecutive parole ineligibility periods for first or second-degree murders committed as part of the same "transaction" (or as part of the same series of offences).One of the first cases where the new sentencing provisions were used was a multiple murder in Edmonton, Alberta of three armoured car guards by one of their co-workers.
