Mr. Speaker, I would like to paraphrase from a letter I received from the guards at the Edmonton maximum institution to the commissioner of Correctional Service Canada:
The members of...Local 30168 instructed the Executive to request your immediate resignation from your position as the Commissioner of Corrections Canada. This request is in response to your actions which have brought CSC's reputation into disrepute and have undermined the public's confidence in the ability of CSC to properly protect them.
We believe that you have misused your authority to spend taxpayer money, that you have been unable to meet the standards you have set for correctional officers and you have refused or have been unable to effectively address the concerns of the frontline staff.
Correctional officers who participate in competitions are required to take a values and ethics test. The Members of this local believe if you were given this same test you wouldn't have a chance at passing.
My lesson today for the solicitor general is simple. If one wants to know what is going on, sometimes one has to talk to the custodian, not to the CEO. The message is loud and clear coming from every direction that Ole has got to go.
