I recognize some of those limitations from the early days when I was involved with the pilot. We would look at monitoring offenders in downtown Toronto, and all of a sudden they would disappear into a subway. But they have to reappear at some point. What you learn over time are patterns of behaviour. Our parole officers become very astute, and so does the monitoring centre, at learning patterns, and expectations from that.
From an operational sense, there are some ways of dealing with that in terms of getting experience with monitoring, particularly with some of the dead zones you experience in high-rises or various areas.
In terms of the rural aspects, we were more particularly concerned in the early pilot days with the greater Toronto area. I think at this point in time the technology is improving. I expect there are ways of overcoming some of these obstacles. That's the purpose of why we do pilots and demonstration projects, to get that experience so we can recognize some of the limitations.
Also, with regard to tamper alerts and not necessarily responding to every one of them but having collateral backups to check, sometimes it could simply be a phone call. Or it could be having a collateral source of information to verify the actual locale of that individual, rather than having to send a response protocol to the police to apprehend.
There are other kinds of checks and balances, other kinds of alternative ways of dealing with these sorts of things. That requires experience with the technology, understanding its limitations, and seeking improvements and workarounds, as we say, to those kinds of device limitations.
