It's interesting that Corrections are cutting back on the provision of treatment for sex offenders when Pamela Yates, who works for the Correctional Service of Canada in Ottawa here, did a study examining the cost benefits of providing treatment for sexual offenders. She calculated that every dollar spent on sexual offender programs saves the Correctional Service of Canada six dollars by getting men out of the prison earlier and by failing to return them to prison as a result of recidivism.
The reason they claim.... I don't think it's founded at all, but the reason that CSC claims for their moving away from psychologists is that they claim they cannot recruit psychologists. Now, that might be true in the northern part of Alberta, but it's absolutely not true in most of the other provinces. In most of the large cities, it's not true at all.
