My focus is on the mandate that's established in the Corrections and Conditional Release Act, part III.
When I reflect upon the Criminal Code of Canada and think of the sentencing provisions, section 718 and others, I note that the language in the Criminal Code of Canada continues to call for the least restrictive measure that's necessary to achieve the purpose of the courts. That language was stripped out of the Corrections and Conditional Release Act, so what we have is a slight mismatch right now between those principles that the court considers and those principles that our Correctional Service is supposed to consider in the administration of the sentence imposed by the court.
I tend not to rank those principles in an order. You asked me whether I would put a priority on one or another. I think safe and appropriate custody and providing supports for safe and timely reintegration are really the guiding values. They're well articulated in the Correctional Service's mission statement. They're reflected in the Corrections and Conditional Release Act. I think it's really at that level that my office operates.
