Mr. Speaker, that member is absolutely correct. Double-bunking is a completely normal practice used by many western countries.
Corrections Canada, last year, completed a study that showed that the rates of double-bunking were not connected to the rates of violence. The fact of the matter is, contrary to the suggestion of the member for Burnaby—New Westminster that prison populations would explode, the increases have actually been less than a quarter of what CSC predicted.
Not only is the NDP soft on crime, it is absolutely soft on facts.
