Thank you, Chair.
Doctor, I enjoyed our last exchange. I found that beneficial, and I learned some. I want to follow up on one of those, and I want to move on. I don't want to get caught up on where we were.
You mentioned in our last exchange that one of the programs that could be enhanced in the institutions is the employment program. This might help. In my research we found that 60% of maximum security prisoners are employed, but almost half the positions are cleaning jobs. Notably, at one institution, the Edmonton Institution, 80% are cleaning jobs. While there's absolutely nothing wrong with custodial work, it would probably be nice to have a bit of a variety and some options. I know many times lately I've met with many trade organizations, where there's a huge deficit in people looking to get into those roles.
Is there anything being done towards expanding on employment training in the facilities, which could help integrate them once they're released back into society?
