Thanks, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Mr. Mallette, for being here.
I also want to express gratitude for the work that you and your colleagues do and the risk that this work involves. I'm sure you're under immense pressure and stress every day. Thank you for what you do.
You painted a pretty vivid picture for us of an inmate who comes in wanting to do well and then is pressured into helping in the trafficking of drugs. Really, it's the same outside, in many ways. People who are trafficking drugs sometimes are motivated by addiction, but a lot of times it's about the money. They want to make money. So whether it's on the outside, and they're trying to traffic drugs to our kids, or inside the prisons, where they're trafficking drugs to inmates who are trying to get over their addiction, it's often motivated by money.
We're debating right now Bill C-10, which talks about greater accountability and greater consequences for those kinds of activities. In your estimation—and we talked about this in regard to people smuggling in drugs—do you think that having greater consequences and greater accountability will be a part of the tools that will help deter this?
