Madam Speaker, I would like to thank my colleague from Mégantic—L'Érable for his comments.
Every federal department is supposed to submit a plan that includes cost estimates. The Correctional Service of Canada plan proposes to cut staff over the next four years. There is also a proposed 8.8% reduction, over the next four years, in the financial resources that help the Correctional Service do its work. However, the government's bill proposes to increase services received under the new inmate detention system.
Can my colleague talk about what will happen to our correctional system given these budget plans?
