Good.
The $1,742 figure, I think it is, has come under some scrutiny here. The assumption is that it's so woefully inadequate that there is absolutely no level of supervision and that it's completely ineffective in enforcing the conditions given by a judge. There are two points there that I would certainly ask Mr. Stewart about.
Given the proper resources, do you feel that proper supervision could be undertaken? And moreover, do you have any indication that the level of supervision is woefully inadequate? So far, it's an assumption, “Oh well, at $1,700 it couldn't be very much.” That's an assumption. From what I read in the statistics, the breach of conditions is not at a 95% rate. People do not end up back in court for the breach of conditions in 95% of the cases; it's a very small percentage of the cases.
There will be the arguments that if a tree falls in the forest, you don't hear it; in other words, if people are out there breaching something and there's not enough supervision, it doesn't get detected.
I see the good police chief nodding to that.
But where's the meat in the sandwich here? Where is the proof that $1,700 is inadequate? I bet that when we have some probationary people here, they're going to say they're doing very well, that they could always use resources but are doing very well.
What would you say, Mr. Stewart?
