I refer to the document that broke down the CSC's recidivism rates for the last 30 years. I want to compare 2008 to 2018. In 2008, the number of offenders on conditional release successfully reaching a warrant expiry date had a readmission rate of 48%. That's less than half. However, in 2017-18, that number had increased to 61%, which is quite tragic.

Can you speak to the work undertaken by CSC in recent years to reduce that rate?
