Thank you for coming and testifying before us today.
My first question is for Corrections Canada. According to a study conducted by the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation, the proportion of aging or older offenders, usually defined as those who are over the age of 50, has increased sharply since 2006 and is expected to increase further over the next few years. What are the reasons for the increase in the aging population in the custody of Correctional Services Canada?
