Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
I'll just wrap up my sentence, then, and then I'll certainly defer. It has to do with the discretion, because what I am saying is that by requiring the minister to consider factors, it will compel consideration of the broad range of factors that go into whether a transfer occurs.
The transfer, as I was arguing, does enhance public safety, because when those people come back to Canada and they come into a Canadian prison, we know of their criminal record and we have the opportunity to give them programs. We also have the opportunity to apply conditions and supervise them in the community, which, I argue, is preferable to letting them walk into our communities without any conditions at all.
