Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I'd very much like to begin by welcoming the witnesses and thanking them for their contribution.
Whether or not we always agree on everything, we're all here with the same intention of providing good public policy for Canadians, according to our principles.
I want to begin, Mr. Chair, by reassuring those Canadians who have been listening that the whole notion of a war on drugs is not anything that our government has declared. It's not anything the minister has ever said, to my knowledge. It's certainly not what's in Bill C-10. And all this talk about war on drugs is really a diversion, and a misleading diversion, about what actually is in Bill C-10. Whatever our policy is on the prohibition of drug trafficking, it isn't established in Bill C-10.
I'd like to ask Mr. Head a little bit.... You are the Commissioner of the Correctional Service of Canada, and I'm assuming that people watching can understand that this means you're the head man in the corrections system. Is that correct?
