I think that question should be directed to the minister and the Government of Canada.
In my view, the response of the Correctional Service is dismissive and unresponsive and I think now there is quite a long track record of adopting that stand.
When I look at politicians and leadership in terms of the minister, the mandate letter and even the Trudeau government in publishing these mandate letters of all the ministers, I think that's great. Maybe the problem is no longer at the political level but at the bureaucracy.
Perhaps part of the resistance to change is the public service. I think it's time it takes a look at itself, and once they have clear marching orders, are they actually moving mountains to make it happen and reflect the will of the elected officials?
I think there is something to be said here. Sometimes I'm not that critical of the political elite, because they've done everything they could. The Correctional Service got their marching orders. Your committee did a wonderful report and issued recommendations to the Correctional Service, yet two years later there is no change, so maybe we have to look at the bureaucracy in the public service. I only know corrections; in terms of valuing the democratic system and values, we should probably be chatting about the bureaucracy too.
