Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thank you for coming back again.
I was happy to hear you say in one of your replies that things have improved since you have gone there, and that you're glad. It's very important that we all strive to have a work area that's free of sexual harassment, and free of harassment, period. We all know that's something we're striving for.
We're looking at the results that were sent in. The results we're looking at are on how inmates treated men in comparison to women in 2011. That would have been before the budget cuts were implemented. In 2011, while both women and men had experienced harassment once or twice at the same rate, men were far more likely than women to have experienced harassment more than twice. In the survey, it showed that, overall, 37% of men reported more than two incidents of harassment by inmates, while only 22% of women reported more than two incidents of harassment. Women were also more likely to say that they had never experienced harassment—41% of women—versus 35% of men who never did.
Do you think there is a reason for this discrepancy? Is there some reason the inmates act differently towards women? What do you see as the cause of this?
