Thank you.
I'd like to thank our witnesses for being here today.
I'll start with Mr. Paterson. We've had a number of witnesses come to us and say that solitary confinement is necessary and then we've had others, who work in the field, who say it's essential for inmates to have solitary confinement. We can use whatever terminology they want to use in the new bill.
Do you feel that there still is some need for that within the penal institutions of Canada?
