Thank you very much, Mr. Norlock.
Unfortunately, I don't have the article with me here, but in The Globe and Mail in 2011, there was an article talking about the life of a young man who had gone from an abusive home through various stages of prevention care. He ended killing somebody at the age of 17.
The overall cost was estimated to be about $1.5 million to be able to deal with this individual up to the age of 21. Imagine if, at the front end, perhaps $100,000 had been spent on that individual and on dealing with some of the root causes of his criminality. We perhaps would have been able to avoid that $1.5 million outlay for that young individual.
As the other chiefs have mentioned, this is a question of investment. Whether it's in a rural or an urban area, it's investment that would have to be done, and in a concerted fashion.
