Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Blair, you quoted the throne speech to me in response to my question about action, yet you had a recommendation back in June from Ivan Zinger about legislation related to fixing the issue of sexually coercive violence in prisons. Mr. Zinger said something today that struck me as very remarkable: that the CSC has a history of being dismissive and unresponsive to his recommendations.
I have two questions for you. Why are you passing the buck to this committee to look at legislation instead of sending it off to the justice department to go ahead and draft something, because there's a great set of recommendations and plans set out by Dr. Zinger?
Second, are you going to fix this business of the CSC's being unresponsive and dismissive of recommendations by the correctional investigator?
