Thank you.
Let me stay with this for a minute. Mr. Head, when he was before us the last time this bill surfaced before it was prorogued out of existence and then reincarnated once again, gave us a table. This was information that didn't come before the committee, because it was held up by the minister's office. But he give us some statistics from the last five years, from 2004 through to 2008-2009, of the number of people who were released and the years of their service.
What I want to ask you is, will you be surprised by the following numbers? In 2004-2005, they had served 23 years before being released. In 2005-2006, they had served 21 years. In 2006-2007, they had served 24 years. In 2007-2008, they had served 23 years. And in 2008-2009, they had served 25 years.
First, would that be consistent with the way women are treated when they make application, and do the numbers surprise you?
