Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Commissioner Head, for being here again today. I know that we last talked just before December.

I'm looking at a CBC report published back in July 2010. They looked at the pilot program and some of the summaries of it. The CBC report says that the internal review of the program found that the pilot project was “plagued with technical malfunctions” of the anklet's global positioning system and “showed little proof of the device's effectiveness”.

Is that true? Was that the result of the pilot project?
