Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Gélinas, I'll start with you. Right now, we know that our prisons are pretty much full. We often hear that they are overflowing, and that people given short sentences are simply sent home and come back to jail later. It seems to me that this problem needs to be resolved. We all agree, at least most of us, that bail conditions need to be tightened to prevent just anyone from being released under any circumstances.
At this point, should we invest more in rehabilitation, education and prevention in our community organizations, schools and so on, or should we invest in building more prisons or expanding existing prisons to hold more prisoners? Where do you think we should invest our energy, money and time?
