Thank you, Mr. Chair.

I would like us to talk about the Parole Board of Canada.

As you know, according to a poll conducted in 2019 by the board itself, 70% of its parole officers said they were unable to do their job well and therefore protect the public, when that is the mandate of Public Safety Canada.

What has been done to rectify the situation? Has more money been injected? We see that the projected spending between 2020 and 2022 is less than the money allocated in 2019-20.

Is that realistic?
