I can speak a little bit more to the statistic, but I should also preface my comments by recognizing the previous testimony from Mr. Grabowsky in terms of his own experience with program availability inside the prisons. My expertise in this area is more at the community level. However, the document that I took that statistic from, the 48% to 52% estimate, is the percentage of offenders with an identified need for substance abuse programming who complete prior to full parole eligibility date. That is prior to parole eligibility.
Then the additional statistic that I will raise now that I have the opportunity is that CSC also identifies further that 74% to 79% is the percentage of offenders with an identified need for substance abuse programming who complete prior to warrant expiry date.
I'm hoping that the distinction there is clear. Your parole eligibility date is when you're able to apply for parole and then your warrant expiry date is when CSC no longer has jurisdiction, essentially.
I think that in terms of barriers to service, again I would defer to the comments earlier by Mr. Grabowsky. Resources are always a tremendous challenge in the community as well as in the correctional system. We know that we are certainly facing increased challenges in program delivery associated with limited program space and some of the infrastructure challenges there.
