You're right. There has been an increase. Actually, I have the warrant of committal admissions for the last 10 years. Between 2006-07 and 2016-17, for all women, there was an increase of 30%. This is, again, warrant of committal admissions. For aboriginal women, the increase was 37%.
Now, in terms of admissions, we can't control that. CSC administers the sentence, so I can't really speak to why they are coming in. What CSC can do, though, is impact the length of time they serve. Some of the initiatives we're discussing today are actually to reduce the amount of time they spend with us. That's why we want to ensure that they have access to programming in a timely way, and that we also do case preparation in a timely manner, so that they can be presented to the Parole Board for a release decision.
In terms of results, and I'd like to share that with you, the percentage of women being released on day parole at the end of 2015-16 was approximately 61%. As of December 31, 2017, we were at 79%. A lot of progress has been achieved, and we are very proud of that. The other statistic I would like to share with you is the percentage of women who have reached their expiration of sentence without readmission to custody. At the end of fiscal year 2015-16, we were at 61%, and now we're at 70%, which is also progress. There's always room for improvement, but in answer to your question, in terms of warrant of committal admissions, that's not something we control.
