Mr. Speaker, the Solicitor General should get his facts straight. The salaries the prisoners make in prison are paid for by the taxpayers. It is still taxpayers' money.
Federal prisoners in federal institutions are sitting on their duffs watching cable TV to the tune of $1 million a year. Whatever happened to hard time?
Will the minister show some strength of character and announce immediately that all TVs will be removed from federal prisons, yes or no?
