Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to thank our witnesses for coming back again. We've seen each other a few times and we're always glad to have you.
I want to talk about the reports from the Auditor General. Chapter 7 of the 2008 Auditor General's report on removals and detentions states that detention decisions are inconsistent.
Section 7.27 states:
While requiring a financial guarantee helps ensure that individuals comply with requirements, we found that the Agency does not analyze the extent to which individuals comply with the terms and conditions of their release. Nor has the Agency set standards or guidelines to determine whether the level of non-compliance results in undue risk to the public. While infrequent, there have been cases where individuals who have been released on condition committed violent crimes.
Would a review of compliance help to prevent individuals who have been released from committing a serious crime or offending?
It's for any of you.
