Mr. Speaker, let me advise the House that there are no plans to privatize the operation of any federal facility of that kind. We have a strong tradition to involve non-government agencies and others in the private sector impartial to our operation. In fact some 12% of our operation is handled outside the public service.
The ethical questions relating to the kinds of powers that are enforced by the correctional service are very serious and there has been no establishment that in fact there are savings to be accomplished.
