Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is to the Minister of Justice under the
Auditor General’s Report of the Correction Facility of 2015, recommendation 42: “The Department of Justice should identify the needs…of its inmate population.” More importantly, I want to underline, “assess its rehabilitation programs…ensure that inmates have access to rehabilitation programs that reflect their needs and their risks.”
I understand that the department is initiating reviews of the directive that guide programs access and delivery, to be completed by the fall of 2015.
I want to ask the Minister, are wilderness camps and on-the-land programs part of this initial review through the directives that would support the on-the-land programs by this department?
