Mr. Speaker, just following up on that comment, would the member not agree with me that we should look at having these services during remand as well?
A lot of inmates I have talked to want these services. More than half the crimes that are committed in Canada are related to addictions. Whether they are guilty or not, their lack of literacy, their lack of education, their lack of anger management and their lack of addiction counselling make them more likely to offend and more likely to be a problem in society.
Does the member not think we should consider providing these services also during remand?
