For us to support further investment in capital initiatives, we should have a context as to what the true costs are. That is why I keep coming back to it. We have to evaluate a longer term strategy with the focus on where our money is better spent.
Again, we have alternative measures that have always been called upon. Maybe they need more support, more bolstering. What money is being kept away from alternative options because maybe money isn’t being spent efficiently?
That goes back to the point of using a cost-benefit analysis. I didn’t ask to do an evaluation of other jurisdictions. I am not sure where that came up from. I suggested that, if it made sense, other jurisdictions can take inmates at a certain cost. The point being is that we should know what it costs us. That is the day-to-day business. When someone comes with a capital request, we should also have an assessment as to what it costs. Thank you.
