Thank you, Madam Chair.
I think there's no question that almost everyone at this table understands and supports the intent of what we're trying to accomplish, but we also want to accomplish it in a way that is consistent with our charter and a whole pile of other things. So my sympathy is with Ms. Rosenfeldt and others in that situation.
My take is that Olson and others are not the majority of people in jail. His particular crime is not in a majority of situations, fortunately. These people are in a minority. Do you know, of the 400 and others, how many of these people who are in jail for two years might be out in five, ten years? And if they are out in that period of time, for whatever reason, if that's their time served, if they are out in the community, what do they do when they hit the streets and have no money? But then I go back to Madame Gagnon in terms of what they do with the essentials.
What would be the recommendations--any of you--with respect to how we deal with when a person does leave jail and does hit the streets? This last weekend somebody said, too bad, too sad, they'll just have to figure it out. Well, you know what that means sometimes. It means they're on the street and all kinds of other things. I'm just trying to get a handle on this. If these 400 are in for life, we don't have to worry about it. If that's not the case, if there are people coming out, what do we do with them, and how do we address Madame Gagnon's concerns? Those are really my questions, to any one of you.
