Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Thank you, Mr. Thompson, for being here today.
I have two questions to ask. First of all, in relation to what you've just said. Recently we have met with people who have some knowledge of the mental health and drug treatment courts. I have noticed that these courts mainly deal with minor offences. For a more serious crime, people are referred to regular courts. Yet, whether people commit major or minor crimes, when they have mental health problems, they have mental health problems, period.
Do you believe these famous mental health and drug treatment courts should also deal with more serious offenders and refer to specialized hospitals where there is greater security rather than to Corrections?
