Thank you, Minister.
We do have waiting lists for various programs. We prioritize the offenders' participation in programs depending on their eligibility dates for potentially day parole, full parole, and statutory release. Ideally those who have a release coming sooner than somebody else will be at the top of the waiting list or already in programs. We target offenders who are likely to be released to go into the programs first, and we'll gauge the right time for those we have for longer periods of time to be placed in programs.
Because it's a question that the minister has been asked several times, I will mention that although we have very specific drug programs, we have revamped our program suite in the last couple of years so that at the initial stages of admission offenders now are partaking in what's called the integrated correctional program model. They're starting to get the primers for the programs, the prerequisite modules to those programs, within their first 90 days in the institution. We're taking very seriously this issue of getting inmates to programs as soon as possible. We are using the new integrated correctional program model in two of our five regions right now.
