Thank you, Chair.
Mr. Head, I appreciate what your people do. It's interesting to note what different people see when they go through the prison system. I was also on that tour of Canadian prisons, and although I think there are opportunities for us to improve in most areas of everything we see in life, I saw a lot of good things being done in the Canadian prison system. I think my colleague said we're not doing enough, but I'm not sure we could ever do enough for everyone, where there are problems.
One of the areas that we all genuinely share is the issue about mental health in the prison systems and addiction. We recognize that likely 99% of the people who come into the prison system have the drug problem; they don't get it in the prison system.
I know that you're doing good things. We need to see more people there. But are there in fact all that many people out there whom you can recruit into the prison system, given that the prisons are frequently located geographically in areas that would be underserviced in many respects? Is that one of the major problems you face?
