Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thanks to all our witnesses.
Thank you, Chief Herman.
I'll direct my questions to Mr. Riches.
First, I want to congratulate you on all the work you've done in the justice field, Mr. Riches. Of course, this year your being awarded with the Queen's Diamond Jubilee Medal was well deserved for your work in Yukon and in B.C. Congratulations on the achievements that the government has managed to deal with on the “Sharing Common Ground” report. I've read the update report and I'm really impressed with how much has been accomplished in a short period of time, based on that review. We had the deputy commissioner of the RCMP here, who had been in Yukon a week or so ago. He had glowing comments about what he saw in the Yukon in terms of the work you've accomplished.
I want to ask you specifically about the arrest processing unit. You talked about the higher standard of care that's going on there, and the joint work with the RCMP on that. At this point—I know it hasn't been in place a long time—are you able to measure any of the recidivism rates? When you're sending people out with a higher quality of care, that in turn should help reduce that revolving door that the RCMP might have witnessed in terms of releasing prisoners out of the Whitehorse detachment itself. Have you been able to measure any of the recidivism rates from that higher standard of care that you're delivering to the people who are coming through that arrest processing unit, or is it too early to tell right now?
