Absolutely. Again, it's such a unique job in everything that you do whether it's reading the file information, or dealing with offenders who have come from very unique circumstances. In the prairie region, we have a lot of aboriginal offenders in our institutions and in our communities. They too come from very traumatic backgrounds. When you're working with them and you're learning about where they've come from, and we focus on section 81 and section 84 releases and we try to prepare them for that release.
There are many things you see in this job that maybe you didn't learn going through high school or university. The job is so large and it goes in so many different ways that it does impact you. It gives you a broad knowledge of who we are as people in this country. We like to think that we're a very empathetic group, parole officers. But, of course, like I mentioned in my presentation, we cannot be sympathetic because there's the rule of law, which keeps us all safe.
