A former reservist in the Canadian forces who stormed Rideau Hall – the official residence of the Governor General – in an attempt to confront Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has been granted legal release.

Cory Hurren received conditional release last week, according to the Parole Board of Canada documents. The Manitoba resident was granted a one-day conditional release in November 2022.

As part of his release, Hurren must continue to seek psychological counseling, take prescribed medications, pursue full-time employment, and report his financial information to his parole officer.

The Parole Board documents indicate that these conditions can be modified or lifted based on the recommendations of the Correctional Service of Canada.

Hurren had been on conditional release for over a year but was required to report nightly to a community residence or halfway house.

The Parole Board documents indicate that he will now be moving to a "room in a house" with a local organization. The documents also state that he is allowed to travel to visit his family "without reporting issues."

In 2021, Hurren was sentenced to six years in prison – minus the year he had served – after crashing his truck into the gates of Rideau Hall in July 2020. He lost his appeal last year.

According to court documents, Hurren was angry about the restrictions imposed by the federal government due to the coronavirus and its ban on assault-style firearms, and he was attempting to detain Trudeau, who lives in Rideau Cottage on the grounds of Rideau Hall.

Hurren pleaded guilty to seven charges related to firearms, including possession for a "dangerous purpose to public peace." He also pleaded guilty to one count of mischief for willfully causing damage to Rideau Hall valued at $100,000.

The documents granting him parole indicate that Hurren "expressed remorse for committing the offense."
