Mr. Speaker, I am not a lawyer, but I am the member for Yellowhead, and I do have a jail in my riding. I have met with the guards a couple of times, and I have been told a lot of the problems they have. Specifically, because my area is relatively remote, they have a problem getting the people to help the prisoners improve in their lifestyles and that sort of thing. The prison does not have the resources to get the people back into society.
Now, one of the things the member said is that automatic penalties are bad. What about automatically being released after one-third of their sentence? Part of the problem is their getting back into society too quickly.
