Thank you, Mr. Chair, and the minister can answer the question on the staffing as well as respond to this additional point.
More disturbing in Mr. Zinger's appearance before the committee earlier this month was his statement that he regards the Correctional Service of Canada as having an attitude or a long track record of dismissing the ombudsman's recommendations and being unresponsive not only to his recommendations but also to the recommendations that have come forward from other commissions, and this despite the agreement of the government on these things.
My question is as follows: Do you feel that you have sufficient authority or actual control over the actions taken by the Correctional Service of Canada in response to these recommendations and in response to your agreement to them?
