 Last summer Corrections Canada did an online survey 6,000 Canadians from coast-to-coast said that the prison farm should be restored They said the animals that were there the animals that some people have purchased and kept For the last seven years should be sent back to prison to re hit rehabilitate those inmates And make our communities safer I want to thank your government for the support that they gave us during our campaign People like Wayne Easter who said don't quit on this. It's too important Mark Holland said that was the best program that he saw he toured them all He said it tore his heart out to see the prison farms closed What was encouraging is a letter that you wrote in 2015 it said I and the entire liberal caucus believe that Correction facilities must include an emphasis on rehabilitation To both promote public safety and to reduce repeat offending Canada's prison farms delivered on both these accounts, which is why I believe they should be reopened We thank you for that support You've got the evidence now When can we realistically look for a decision? Thank you, and you continue to have my support on this Again and and I wonder how how Mark might have stacked the room because I keep referring to him as being Someone who is bringing up this issue, and I know you had a town hall in this very room with my with Ralph Goodale a little while ago Ralph Goodale our Minister of Public Security is very much public safety is on this issue. We are Still very much of the of the opinion that I shared in that letter I think that prison farms are an important part of of how we how we need to to move forward And I know that Ralph is working hard on the file And we hope to have more to say in the in in the coming months
