To the witnesses, thank you for appearing before committee today. I'm greatly appreciative of you taking the time.
One of the things that concerns me, obviously, is that more than 80% of our inmates are facing addictions issues. So they're coming into our facilities often because they're facing addictions problems. The chief way of dealing with addictions that has been introduced by this government has been to try to shut down access. There's been an enormous amount of money spent on that. Now, we know that the drug usage in prisons in 2005 was 12% in random urine test samplings, and in 2008, which is the last date we have data, it is now up to 13.2%.
You know how much has been spent on these efforts to clamp down, and given the fact that drug use in prisons has actually gone up in this period of time, how would you assess the efficacy of that spending?
