Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Guimont, ladies and gentlemen, I'm disappointed that the minister left the meeting after half an hour, but there it is.
The Correctional Service of Canada accommodation plan 2013-18 indicates about $1 billion in assessed needs, following the closure of Kingston Penitentiary, Leclerc Institution and the Ontario Regional Treatment Centre. It was assessed that the buildings that were in poor or critical condition and needed to be repaired constituted $1 billion of the total value of the existing facilities.
Could you please tell us how you intend to address this problem?
