I just want to understand one thing.

At the end of your presentation, you said that the estimated annual savings for 700 claimants were approximately $3 million. As a result, the people getting out of prison don't have access to that amount. This means that those people will have to go on welfare. So those expenses are being transferred to the provinces.
