Human Resources committee  Yes. The number I quoted, the $109,000 average institutional cost, includes security costs.

Human Resources committee  As it stands right now, based on the approach we're taking with $25 per week, the answer is no. It's a very basic cost. As a matter of fact, it doesn't come close to covering the majority cost. So the short answer is no.

Human Resources committee  It really depends on how much people are earning in any one of those prescribed areas. For example, if somebody was drawing a private pension of $60,000 a year, and that money was coming into the institution and we knew about it, then we could, under the current legislation, withhold $18,000 a year.

Human Resources committee  As it stands right now, one, we don't know for a fact that's the case, and two, if the moneys do not come into the institution, I have no means of taking any money.

Human Resources committee  In terms of the first part of your question, again, it's not that we do not collect the information, just that we do not collect it in the same automated manner. It's managed on a case-by-case basis. So a parole officer engaging with an offender in their case load will go through the discussions and determine if they have family members.

Human Resources committee  We don't collect it in an automated way. It's dealt with on a case-by-case basis.

Human Resources committee  It's not relevant in terms of the overall information we need to collect. We could collect a thousand pieces of information about a person, but we have to make a determination as to what is manageable within the automated system we have. Again, the information is available in the individual files the parole officers have to manage in relation to the individual, but collecting it in an automated way....

Human Resources committee  As it stands right now, no. But there is a provision in Bill C-39 that would bring that to the forefront of how we manage those kinds of issues.

Human Resources committee  Not unless the offender discloses that to us, or the order is directed to corrections because they happen to know where the individual is.

Human Resources committee  We can ask the question, but we can't force them to give us that information.

Human Resources committee  That's right, yes.

Human Resources committee  For statutory release cases, we know well in advance. For day parole or full parole cases, usually it's a month or so in advance. Yes, we have enough lead time.

Human Resources committee  Sorry, I missed the question.

Human Resources committee  Oh, yes, the $25 per week.

Human Resources committee  That's right. The act allows us actually up to 30% gross of all those five prescribed incomes.
