I have not met Dr. Zinger as yet, owing largely, I think, to the COVID pandemic and the occupation of doing other things. However, the minister has, and I have spoken with the minister about Dr. Zinger and his report and I have talked to the commissioner of the Correctional Service of Canada about the report and about the agenda. Of course, the department and the staff had worked with the Correctional Service to respond and to ensure that those responses embed the views of the minister. We are actively working to try to pursue the agenda that Dr. Zinger has laid out for the Correctional Service, again taking into account some of the barriers that are imposed by the COVID pandemic.
On November 25th, 2020. See this statement in context.
