Thank you very much, Mr. Chair, and thank you to the Auditor General's office, both for being here today and—if anyone has seen the stack of reports—for the obviously enormous amount of work you do on behalf of the Canadian public.
I want to ask a couple of questions about your Report 6 on community supervision and the Correctional Service, and then also on Report 5 on inappropriate sexual behaviour in the Canadian Armed Forces.
In your introduction, Mr. Berthelette, you talked about the Correctional Service having a delay in getting offenders into the appropriate facilities in the community, acknowledging quite rightly, I think, that for community safety the best outcomes come from supervised release in the community setting and that there's no plan to deal with that increase, which I think you said was nearly 20% between 2013 and 2018.
Wouldn't it also be true to say that it will actually cost the public more, since the costs for maintaining someone in incarceration are much higher than they are under community supervision?
