Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you to the witnesses for coming.
I find this area quite interesting. Innovation I always think is great, because it gives us an opportunity to look at some ways that maybe we can improve things that for some reason may not have given us the best results.
First of all we know that CoSA has not been cut. The contract expires after five years. I think they know that. We're studying this area because we want to see how we can make programs more successful.
I thank both of you for being here. Dr. Tansey, you talked about potential and also the concern about experimentation. If we can find a great project that we could support, obviously I think the government has to be involved in the process. We've seen from a number of other witnesses that you have to set out some of the criteria as to what it would look like if it's successful. I'm wondering if you have any comments on that if we were looking at trying to prevent some recidivism in our system.
