Thank you for the reminder, Mr. Chair. I will focus in on the bill.
In the proposed legislation, one of the things that will happen is that agreements under sections 81 and 84, which is how healing lodges and agreements with indigenous communities are negotiated—so not federal penitentiaries, but community-run healing lodges—will actually be more limited.
As well, the manner in which the Correctional Service has implemented those has been to develop institutional beds, as opposed to something that the Auditor General spoke about today in the report that was released around conditional release, stating that in fact we need to see more individualized options closer to people's communities and more negotiations with individual communities. Some of that will be interfered with by this legislation, through the removal of the “community” in “indigenous community”, because that had not been fully implemented already, and I think that the scope of the legislation was fettered by the policy that Correctional Service of Canada developed.
