Thank you, Mr. Chair. Just a brief comment here. The action plan from the Department of Justice had, I think, 100-plus items in it and many of them are scheduled to be finished by November of 2015. Many of those, as well, were looking at reviewing and revision of their policies and procedures and directives.
Committee felt that basically the department, at this point, has in place standing orders, directives, policies, everything they need in order for corrections to adequately function and we felt that there needed to be a greater emphasis on doing what their standing orders or directives or policies say, as opposed to reviewing and revising them. The review and the revision should happen but it will take longer. We felt it more important that the department put what they already have in place and monitor it, rather than they start the review and the revision right away.
So, what this motion is trying to say is monitor what you’ve got in place and make sure that it’s happening and then once that is done and you know that things are being monitored and things are being followed, rules are being followed, then look at reviewing and revising them. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
