First of all, that bill is obviously not law yet, so in considering legislation we've reviewed what resources are available and what will be needed. Should it pass, there will be additional resources needed.
The effect of the legislation is in fact a significant lessening of the burden on the provinces. They will have fewer people or shorter times in remand, so that's a cost saving. Likelier, people will come to conclusions at their trial sooner because there is less incentive to lengthen your time in pre-sentencing custody. That will result in a savings on administration of justice, for which provinces are responsible. Also, more people end up with sentences that are two years or more, putting them in federal facilities instead of provincial ones. So the provinces save tremendous amounts of money out of this.
That does of course mean, however, that there will be an increased federal burden. Our assessment is that with the existing capacity--and there is capacity within our prison system--any of this that may start flowing in this year can be accommodated. However, over the years that come there will be a need for additional investment. One can only give one's best guess at projecting what that is. We have done that, but we will have to be coming in the future to the House of Commons for additional funding to accommodate that.
