The number of offenders under community supervision has been increasing since 2012-13. Back then, they amounted to 33% of the offender population, and they now amount to 40%.
In 2017, we conducted a more detailed internal study to establish projections and determine what needed to be done, both in correctional institutions and the community. At that time, we were able to see the cases or regions where there would be issues as a result of the inadequate number of beds. We worked hard at the local and regional level. Even the Auditor General acknowledged that we added many beds.
We're currently collecting information from each region to have a better idea of where these beds are located across the country and the type of beds needed in the community based on the offender profiles.
