I fully agree. It is not lost on me that, when we look at the Justice Department — I am sure that Minister Givan would not be in a comfortable position if, for instance, half the school body was not in attendance — we see that half the prison population is on remand consistently and has been throughout the past year. That is certainly not something to crow about. That would not be the case under our Ministers, who would very quickly take adequate action.
