Good morning, everyone, and welcome.
This is meeting number eighteen of the Standing Committee on Public Safety and National Security, Thursday, December 8, 2011. Although committees can always change their minds and extend meetings, this may very well be the last day of our study on drugs and alcohol in prisons.
In our first hour we will hear from our final witness. In terms of our second hour, we had asked a number of witnesses but all were unable to attend. So in the second hour we'll go in camera and discuss a little bit on the draft report, and there will possibly be more we can do with that on Tuesday.
We have appearing before us, from Correctional Service of Canada, Jan Looman, clinical manager of the regional treatment centre at Kingston, Ontario. This committee very much appreciates the large amount of input we have received from the Correctional Service of Canada. Certainly in your position as clinical manager at the regional treatment centre, I know we will have questions for you after your opening comments.
Mr. Looman, we look forward to your opening comments, and then we will move into a couple of rounds of questioning.
