Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Good evening to all our witnesses, and thank you for agreeing to stay so late to provide your insight with respect to this bill.
Mr. Sapers, I have several questions for you. I am trying to understand the figures you have provided. You cite statistics for 2009-2010, according to which 7,272 offenders were entitled to be considered for APR in the last five years. You also talked about the number of offenders released on day parole after serving 1/6th of their sentence, if I'm not mistaken. Those numbers cover a five-year period. That means that more than 1,000 people per year, approximately, were eligible.
If you could provide statistics on an annual basis, I would be better able to see the full picture. Are we talking about more than 1,000 inmates a year?
