If I may, I will have the opportunity to come back to this during other question periods. In fact, I have many questions to ask you about the Correctional Service of Canada. However, while you are here with us during this first hour, I would like to talk to you about your positions on certain matters.
When I speak with correctional officers, they often tell me about problems with the aging population. We see it; the populations in our prisons are getting a lot older. Often, the correctional officers have to be involved in palliative care for inmates.
Have you thought of a strategy to review the operation of the prison system? This is also part of what the Office of the Correctional Investigator is calling for. He is asking for clarification on this and for review of the plan on how to deal with these older inmates, who can no longer get around and who, sometimes, have oxygen tanks. Will a medical service be put in place or will we stick to having correctional officers distribute pills to inmates?
