Mr. Speaker, this morning the auditor general added his voice to the growing number of critics of Correctional Services Canada. In a scathing confirmation that quantifies what we have been claiming all along, his overall impression of the government and its bureaucracy was that of a rudderless ship with no one at the helm.
My question is for the acting solicitor general. If the most important aspect of the two-part mandate of CSC is rehabilitation, why is it spending a mere 7 per cent of its $1 billion budget on rehabilitation while the bureaucrats squander another 93 per cent on operating costs?
