Public Safety committee  We're still trying to assess what the actual numbers will be. There are several components that we're sifting through right now. We're waiting for the fiscal year to end to look at our population growth, because what we do is go back and look at our normal forecasts as they relate to just normal growth as a result of the flow that we've experienced over the years.

Public Safety committee  We're working through this year to have our long-term accommodation plan complete, because we're looking out to the year 2018. So over the course of this fiscal year we hope to complete our long-term accommodation.

Public Safety committee  2010-11.

Public Safety committee  Yes, we do have some money available for us to address some of the health and safety standard issues, some of the maintenance issues. The answer is yes.

Public Safety committee  The plans for closing the farms at minimum security institutions will continue. They will be closed by March 31, 2011, so there is no change in plans as they relate to the farms.

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  I'm not sure about the status of the risk development tools, but we can provide this committee with some information on the risk tools we use so you can get some appreciation of them.

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  It's a very good question. In order for us to make any inroads as it relates to aboriginal offenders, we need to have a very strong integrated approach, and that's what we're doing within the Correctional Service of Canada. At the end of the day, as I mentioned earlier in my testimony, it's extremely important that in the long run we find just as equally effective an integrated approach from the beginning of the criminal justice system to well beyond the criminal justice system.

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  It has developed over time. Just under 8% of my staff complement are individuals who have declared aboriginal ancestry. In some cases it's a little higher because people just haven't declared it. So that's a significant number in comparison to other federal government departments or agencies.

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  We have an addictions research centre in Montague, Prince Edward Island. It does most of our work and research on addictions. It works with agencies such as the Canadian Centre on Substance Abuse, and others like that. Our group has been doing a lot of work around FASD to come up with assessment tools that will help to point us in the direction.

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  Yes.

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  Yes, very much so. We have a document now that we just published in September, which we call the aboriginal offenders “Milestones” document.

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  Including maximum security. In some cases, it would be starting that program right during the time of reception, when they're sitting in the reception units.

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  We haven't put it up on our website, but it is a document that we can make available to this committee.

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  It's a very good question. That's one of the things we're trying to reconcile now. It's one of the reasons that we're moving very quickly on the introduction of what I mentioned briefly, the integrated correctional program model, which will allow us to deliver and to start offender engagement in programs much earlier in their sentence.

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  I think it goes back to the question that was raised by Mr. Bagnell earlier, and that is really about the back end of the system. As I mentioned, I classify us as being the back end of the criminal justice system. But with the work that we've been doing around programs, the efficacy of those programs, the research that's showing that these programs work when they are delivered and we get them up, we need the new back end of that system to support those offenders when they go back out in the community.
