Thank you, Mr. Chair. I move that this committee recommends that the Department of Justice take immediate steps to ensure that all inmates undergo case management assessments regardless of the length of their sentences. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Mr. Nadli. Motion is in order. To the motion. Mr. Dolynny
Thank you, Mr. Chair. The purpose of this motion is probably twofold. One, the Auditor General definitely recognized the fact that those inmates of less than 120 days receive very little programming or enhancements to their stay in our care. Even through dialogue with the department, there was a direction and even a response that the department was going to look at lowering that 120-day review, observation, to a 90-day process.
Committee felt very strongly, and I believe so did the Auditor General’s staff, that there should be no time limit based on your stay. If you are an inmate within our correctional service, that every and all inmates, as the motion says, undergo case management assessments.
There’s definitely a system problem there. There’s a software problem, and we’re hoping that by this motion this gives clear direction to the department and its Minister that this has to be fixed sooner than later. Thank you.
Thank you, Mr. Dolynny. To the motion.
