Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I, too, want to thank our witnesses for appearing before us today, especially Madam Guerin Skalusat.
I was very touched by your story. Thank you for sharing that with us. I'm very sorry for the losses you suffered. Nonetheless, in your story there is empowerment that happens with time. So congratulations on being here before us today to share your expertise and ideas with us about how we tackle this very difficult problem of anti-social criminal activity within a community. You alluded to that in an earlier answer, noting that for community members who pose a danger to other community members, there need to be some boundaries around that.
I'd like to get your ideas. I'm neither a regular member of this committee nor a lawyer, but I would like to hear your expertise on that. Do you have confidence in judges being able to do the kind of sentencing that would allow for someone who needs to be in prison to actually be imprisoned for a certain length of time, or for someone to serve out their time in a community setting?
