Mr. Speaker, my question is for the solicitor general.
The pressure cooker of the Kingston prison is ready to blow: prisoners assault guards without fear of consequence, sue for compensation with 13 prison lawsuits claiming $23 million and guards disciplined if they do not keep the jail quiet. The result is hundreds of unsettled union grievances and perhaps even riots in the making.
Will the minister convince his colleague ministers of the need to take back control of these con run prisons and do what is right rather than what is convenient?
