Thank you.
Mr. Head and Mr. McCowan, according to Bill C-31, a person who is being fed and sheltered in a penitentiary must make a contribution, especially if they are receiving some income from the state, but how do we deal with cases of white-collar crime? Some of them are liable to receive sentences of more than two years of incarceration. As far as I am concerned, I do not know many such cases, but I know at least one who is over 65 and whose annual income is in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. In one of these cases, there are millions of dollars involved. These people are not eligible to receive old age pension benefits nor can they receive the Guaranteed Income Supplement. Thus they will be fed and sheltered and laundered and it will all be for free.
How shall we proceed? If we can get our hands on the income of some of these people, we will do so, but are we going to let those white-collar criminals get free services? I am thinking out loud.
