It's always difficult when we have lunch here and when we have bells and votes and everything else. So we apologize right off the top to our next witnesses, who are appearing in our second hour.
We will continue our study on the impact drugs and alcohol in prison have upon the rehabilitation of offenders, and also their impact on correctional officers and crime within institutions.
We have appearing before us in the second forty minutes Mr. Ken Snedden, acting assistant deputy commissioner for corporate services in Ontario, Correctional Service of Canada.
Appearing as an individual, we have William Normington, who will share his considerable experience with us. He is a retired Corrections Canada officer.
We welcome each of you. We look forward to your comments.
We'll begin with Mr. Snedden.
