The Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops was a co-founder of the Church Council on Justice and Corrections over 35 years ago, and they continue to support us a great deal. They count on us to help them do the analysis required around criminal justice issues. And they definitely have been in support of the positions we've taken in the past. There is a regular feedback loop to discern with them and have them come to our meetings and talk with us about these issues.
