We have statistics. I don't have them at my fingertips, but if you'd like I can provide them to the committee. There were six drug courts funded by the federal government as a pilot project. Some cities such as Calgary have their own drug court, which they fund themselves. There's not a uniformity of funding. The federal government has expanded the number of courts that it is co-funding with the provinces. The one in Nova Scotia, for example, is a new one that the federal government just started to co-fund this last year. I can provide the committee, if you like, with a copy of it.
The research that we've undertaken with respect to the evaluation of the drug court system shows that it is costly. It's an expensive court system. Those who graduate, and even those who don't graduate, who go through the system but maybe actually fail, have lower recidivism rates. The drug treatment courts do seem to work, but it's a costly process.
