Justice committee  That would be great. Thank you. Again, I would turn you back to the studies south of the border with respect to the impact of incapacitation over the long term, rather than deterrence. How does that relate to what happens here in Canada? There's a whole pile of legislative pilla

Justice committee  I don't have a list. but certainly I could provide that information, I suspect. I don't know. It's something I would have to speak to the executive director about, but we certainly talk about our funders all the time publicly, so I could probably name several of them right now, i

Justice committee  As I indicated in the introduction, generous individuals and corporations kick in. Much of our time is spent raising money, and that's how we're funded. It's as simple as that. The only time we've ever accepted government funding is for a project, a one-off project, but no, we
