I have another question, Mr. Beauséjour.
We are told we can go back 104 weeks. That is very important for us.
We need to make a distinction. Someone in a federal penitentiary, where sentences are two years plus a day, is not entitled to that. However, that is important for someone who is in a provincial institution for two years less a day. It is important because there are no provincial programs to reintegrate those people into society, to reach out to them and help them overcome their addiction problems. For us, it is important that they at least have access to EI and that they look for a job.
As you know, these are not hardened criminals. Just now, the members opposite said that people are criminals by choice. That is not necessarily true. Some people cannot afford to pay for their fines. Some people might have had the bad luck to have one too many beers, to drive home and to be caught at a police checkpoint. With no money, they end up in jail.
Just having this money and the 104 weeks, or at least the fact of looking for a job, is quite significant for us. When someone is in jail, their continuous employment stops after five days. That is how it is under most collective agreements. It is even stricter than that for most people without a union.
I would like us to agree on that, because the 104-week period is important for us and for rehabilitating people.
