Mr. Paul-Hus, as you know, contraband getting into correctional facilities is a serious problem. It presents very serious safety and security issues. The Correctional Service of Canada has various techniques now for trying to intercept contraband, which is against the law and needs to be stopped from coming into the institutions.
The one basic technique that the Correctional Service has at the moment to employ is searches, including strip searches and invasive searches. The introduction of body scanners will allow the same, or perhaps even an increased, level of security in a less intrusive manner. I notice that the use of these scanners is being extended to a number of provincial correctional institutions across the country.
