Public Safety committee  There's a comprehensive medical assessment done. There isn't an automatic blood test to test for opiate use at intake. There is a urinalysis program that is random. Basically, if your name comes up, you will be tested randomly. We also have--

Public Safety committee  No, there's a random urinalysis test if your name comes up. It's random. It's not compulsory to have urinalysis testing upon admission.

Public Safety committee  There would be proof. As I mentioned before, that would go into the medical community. They would do all the requisite tests to determine the need, the dosage, and all those particular elements.

Public Safety committee  Again, as I mentioned before, there are prioritizations we make. I can't guarantee that they will get it in a shortened period of time. As I mentioned, some of the programs we're looking at, especially for substance abuse, are for efficiencies to get them closer to getting treatment on time.

Public Safety committee  Yes, I think part of this question relates to how many are out there who are addicted and who could be participating.

Public Safety committee  I don't know the exact number, but I can tell you all the things that go on to encourage and motivate. The fact that we have participation is really good, from my perspective, from a correctional perspective. Sometimes inmates don't like to acknowledge that there is an addictive property, but they're taking those steps.

Public Safety committee  Yes.

Public Safety committee  I have the numbers who are participating. I believe it's about 750 inmates. I can confirm that in a couple of minutes.

Public Safety committee  It's a small percentage in the overall numbers of the population.

Public Safety committee  For the methadone program, there are no wait lists associated with it. For some of the programs we mentioned before, there are wait lists. We don't use that terminology in its purest form; basically we look at this for planning for the best intervention levels we could have. There are inmates for whom the timing of their program is important.

Public Safety committee  Without doubt an influx of resources that continues in the program area would be beneficial. We have invested close to $47 million in programming in the last couple of years through some program strategic reinvestment opportunities we have undertaken. I mentioned earlier to one of your colleagues an integrated program model through which we're looking to create some levels of efficiencies that can move us toward that goal.

Public Safety committee  Yes, thank you. One of the other changes in employment skills development that we instituted at the Frontenac Institution was the development of a laundry service. There actually is a linen certification program that is associated with this particular program that is offered for people who work in laundry areas.

Public Safety committee  There is another type of a drug, and the name escapes me. It starts with an s, and it is another opiate. It's taken through a pill form. If you give me a minute, I can--

Public Safety committee  Yes, that's a large part of it--a lot of it.

Public Safety committee  Thank you. That's a very complex and wide question. I would make just a couple of quick comments. As you've heard from testimony before, a large percentage of our inmates come with substance abuse, difficulties close to 80%, and I think you've seen testimony where in some cases 50% are directly related to the crime at hand.
