I think the intentions here for all of us are the same thing. This is about protecting the public. It's making sure there's a smooth transition from incarceration out. It's always been my understanding that there's quite a bit of work that goes on with an individual who is incarcerated prior to release, whether it's the movement from a halfway house and so on. There's supposedly a lot of work that goes on. So I have every reason to think that Corrections Canada would be working with Service Canada to ensure that transition happens.
I think the concerns we have are to make sure that we reduce any ambiguity as to who's doing what and how it's going and that interpretation. If we can find a way to make clear...and that the onus is on everyone here with the right intentions. I think all of us dealing with constituents have seen too many times how things have fallen through the cracks. It's nothing to do with Corrections Canada, but to do with Service Canada and people getting their pension cheques and finding where people are located.
So I think we all have the same intent here of wanting to make sure that it happens and that we reduce the ambiguity. In the midst of Dr. Wong's last comments and my own, we may have found the wording that may solve the problem and satisfy everyone.
Thank you.
