So the public attitudes underneath this need adjustment, because it seems to me that parliamentarians tend to do what the public is thinking.
I worked hard in the Yukon to build a new jail. It was a territorial facility. And yet continually we needed to build a new elementary school. The elementary school will always take precedence over the correctional facility. Kids are nicer than offenders.
How do we get it out to the public that when we help offenders, we're not only helping them; we're helping us and we're helping our kids and we're helping everybody. It seems to me that's a basic fundamental attitudinal shift that as parliamentarians we have to address.
