Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I just want to ask a couple of quick questions.
Do you think the $40 million that was lost in the sponsorship scandal under the Liberal government might have perhaps been useful in producing some programs that would have been of benefit in allowing these offenders to seek jobs, or even the $25 billion in health care cuts made by the previous Liberal government in the mid-1990s, or maybe even the cuts to the CBC that were made? Do you think those amounts of money made by this previous Liberal government might have helped to develop programs for offenders to rehabilitate and become productive individuals who would not reoffend?
