Mr. Speaker, in his last report, the auditor general pointed out that Correctional Services is not achieving its objective of ensuring the satisfactory reintegration throughout the country of offenders who pose a threat to the long term safety of the public.
In this same document, we learn that there are no caseload standards for case management officers, the people who must give an opinion to parole board commissioners on whether or not to release an offender, leaving the auditor general to conclude that "initial training for case management officers is inadequate".
For three years now, the Bloc Quebecois has been calling for an overhaul of Correctional Services. How can the Liberal government claim to be looking after public safety, when it is giving more attention to punishing offenders than to finding solutions?
