Public Safety committee  Yes.

Public Safety committee  Yes, that's correct. A health care professional is involved. Under Bill C-83, a health care professional could recommend the alteration of conditions or the termination of confinement, and the institutional head would have to take that into account. A health care professional vis

Public Safety committee  I would just say that all actions of the Correctional Service of Canada are covered by the Canadian Human Rights Act, and these provisions are consistent with that act.

Public Safety committee  It's the amendment.

Public Safety committee  I'm not here to support. I'm only here to give advice.
