With respect to dry cells, you recommended prohibiting any indefinite placement for longer than 72 hours. I visited the Port‑Cartier Institution last summer. It was my first visit to a prison facility. I was accompanied by Ms. Damoff. We saw what they looked like. I believe that Minister Mendicino had issued a directive about dry cells a few days earlier.
What happens when a directive like that is issued? Does Correctional Service Canada have no choice but to make the changes? There didn't seem to be a deadline for acting on the directive.
Do directives of this kind help you in your work?
What happens when the minister directly intervenes on issues for which you have made recommendations?
