Mr. Speaker, this Conservative government's agenda with respect to crown corporations is coming more into focus. After passing a budget that will privatize Canada Post and sell Atomic Energy of Canada Limited, the government has announced that it wants to end the 130-year-old prison farm program.
Experts say that this program is much more effective than the repressive approach of the United States.
Is the government using its so-called “tough on crime” approach to justify the sale of farm prison assets to its private sector friends?
