I'm sorry, Madam Minister, for interrupting, but Mr. Head made it quite clear that it's a computerized system, so it's quite easy to make the adjustment. We're talking about very few notifications on a monthly basis. There may be some months where there'll be no releases at all, so it's quite easy to do it.
Let me simply make this point so that you understand--and I think other members of the committee share this concern. What's going to happen is if you are notified in the month they're released, we'll have people on the street over 65, probably having been incarcerated for a long period of time, totally unemployable, both because of age and because of the criminal record, with no funds at all other than the $80 they get when they get out of prison. There will be a high rate of reincarceration as a result of that, or they will have to go on municipal welfare rolls. That's not fair to the municipalities or the provinces. That's our concern.
It seems to me that that type of amendment, which would allow the notification to come at the time the prisoner is aware of it, would resolve those concerns.
