Thanks very much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Mr. Caton and Mr. Nuyen, for being here. It was a very good presentation. It would have been great if we could have had a little time to look it over, because it was very thorough and had a lot of information.
I want to focus on a couple of things.
I think we've heard contrary testimony in terms of whether electronic monitoring actually helps in the rehabilitation of offenders. From what we've understood, there really hasn't been enough research done in Canada to see how effective it is in terms of actually rehabilitating. I'm just going to ask you, very briefly, and then I'll go on to some of the other points that you made. Strictly in terms of actually rehabilitating and reducing recidivism, have you actually seen research? We haven't really seen a lot of it, and I'm wondering if you've seen research that would indicate that it does.
