Following off that, Mr. McFee, and getting back to finding a balance between sentencing and prevention, prevention obviously is cheaper in the long run than anything, but in Edmonton's case, a couple of years ago I was told there were about 250 hard cases, people who were known, and if they could do something about those 250 bad guys in Edmonton, they could reduce the serious crime rate by about 50%. I was also told that the habitual criminal will commit about 15 offences a year.
So if we take, in Edmonton's case, those 250 hard cases, give them a mandatory minimum, put them away for something that's meaningful, and work with them while they're there, obviously, to try to correct their behaviour, it seems to me that would do a lot for public safety.
