It's not so much that they're being denied treatment; they're just being denied this particular avenue of treatment. Whenever someone applies to the court, comes in, and then isn't successful or is screened out, they always have the opportunity to seek treatment elsewhere. I'm afraid I can't speak to what treatment is or is not available in either the provincial reformatory systems or in the federal penitentiary system.
In terms of actual recidivism, it might interest the committee to know that the research and statistics division of the Department of Justice recently published a study specifically on drug treatment courts and recidivism. It was a meta-analysis of reports from the U.S. and Canada, and it reached the conclusion that drug treatment courts do decrease recidivism.
