There is no effective.... In my opinion, and based on my experience and on feedback that I receive from members, we're not effectively rehabilitating anybody. Most of our corrections facilities do not have any kind of a therapeutic component to them. Our programming really only starts at the federal level, so if people are incarcerated in provincial facilities, it's very rare that they're going to have access to any of the programming that they would need to come out and be successful.
That's an area where we're really lacking capacity, and the federal government can play a leadership role in building that capacity in provinces so that we are providing therapeutic capacity in our corrections facilities. That way, when people who have serious substance use challenges or mental health issues are sentenced and incarcerated, even if it's for a short time, they're not just thrown in a jail cell to sit there; they actually can get access to support and services. We're not doing a great job in this country. There are a couple of provinces that are rethinking their approaches, and they're having some success, but it's not enough.
