All of these are alternatives. When I offer my clients a choice of staying in Toronto West Detention Centre or going out under electronic monitoring, they're all going to agree to go out under electronic monitoring. It's not that expensive. It gives the government an opportunity to know where people are if they're concerned they're going to disappear. If they take action to cut the monitoring equipment off, the government gets an immediate warning, is aware they've absconded, and can take action immediately.
It's better than nothing. It's not failproof, for sure. The bail project is another example. For sure we should have the bail project across the country. It's an inexpensive way of finding an alternative to detention, no doubt about it.
