Mr. Chair, I'm not absolutely certain as to the average length of stay. I do know that the issue of remands across the country is an issue of quite a high per centage of inmates in our system, approximately 60 per cent are on remand, and I think that's consistent with statistics across Canada. I do know, however, that we have one of the best records of getting people to court. So, unlike in the south when there's very often a very long delay and people spending a long, long period of time on remand that doesn't tend to happen as much here. But, unfortunately, I do not have in front of me statistics as to what the average remand time is. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
