Mr. Sapers, we had the justice minister sit just about where Mr. Doob is and assure us, because of assurances he got from the Minister of Public Safety, that there was no problem in the federal system taking the additional prisoners who were going to come in.
First, I want to ask you.... I assume from the latter part of your paper and what you gave us verbally today that you would not agree, in fact, that the federal system is available for a significant upsurge in new prison inmates. And then secondly, is it possible to determine how many additional prisoners will go into the federal system if this law is adopted?
So the first question is whether you agree with the minister. Secondly, can we figure out how many are actually going to go into the system?
