First I'll answer your first question. As regards the community agencies that work in partnership with the Correctional Service, I would say that Correctional Service Canada has excellent partnerships with the agencies.
I'll tell you about Quebec. The partnership with the community agencies has definitely been in existence for more than 40 years, across all of Quebec. In Quebec, we have what's called a "tripartite agreement", which involves both the Government of Quebec, the federal government and the community agencies. That tripartite agreement provides for service standards to ensure quality of service, whether it be at a community correctional centre or at a community residential centre. The community residential centres belong to the community and are managed by volunteer boards of directors. However, within those agencies and houses, it's the professionals who provide the services: criminologists, social workers and psychologists.
I believe that the funding granted to the community agencies could be increased, and that's an issue in the discussions that we constantly have with them. However, the level of funding has enabled us to stabilize the community agencies in Quebec. So we have partnerships such as that with the Montreal YMCA, a partner in business and in the supervision of our offenders in the community for more than 35 years.
