Mr. Speaker, I thank the hon. member for Westlock—St. Paul for his question.
He is right. In Donnacona, Millhaven, and Collins Bay, I have been able to see the work our correctional officers do.
Let me also state that double-bunking is a completely normal practice used in many western countries, and studies, including a Canadian one, show that it has no impact upon the rate of violence in prison.
Our Conservative government strongly disagrees with the NDP. We strongly believe that double-bunking is totally appropriate for convicted criminals.
