"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"924886\" data-originallang=\"en\">I can comment on that if that's okay.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"924887\" data-originallang=\"en\">We talk about remedial programs for convicted offenders, and I think most provinces now have remedial programs that all offenders must complete. The data on those programs are fairly impressive. Once they are in those programs and complete the programs, the chances of recidivism are reduced and the high-risk drinking behaviour declines. We see declines in drug use as well. That part of the system seems to be working fairly well. Now there are differences between provinces, but it is an important part of our overall effort to address the impaired driving problem.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"924888\" data-originallang=\"en\">If I could comment, though, the difficulty, if we're really trying to prevent deaths on our roads, is that if you look at the people killed in impaired driving collisions, a relatively small proportion, maybe 5%, 10%, or 15%, are actually repeat offenders. The large majority are people who have never been caught before.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"924886\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je peux r\u00e9pondre \u00e0 cette question si vous le permettez.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"924887\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je crois qu'il existe dans la plupart des provinces des programmes de mesures correctives auxquelles doivent se pr\u00eater les contrevenants d\u00e9clar\u00e9s coupables. Les r\u00e9sultats de ces programmes sont fort impressionnants. Lorsque le programme est men\u00e9 \u00e0 terme, les risques de r\u00e9cidive diminuent, tout comme les habitudes de conduite \u00e0 haut risque. Nous constatons \u00e9galement une baisse de la consommation de drogue. Cette portion du syst\u00e8me semble donc donner d'excellents r\u00e9sultats. La situation peut varier d'une province \u00e0 l'autre, mais il s'agit d'un \u00e9l\u00e9ment cl\u00e9 de notre effort global pour lutter contre le probl\u00e8me de la conduite avec facult\u00e9s affaiblies.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"924888\" data-originallang=\"en\">Comme l'objectif est vraiment de r\u00e9duire les d\u00e9c\u00e8s sur nos routes, je me permets toutefois d'ajouter que parmi les collisions mortelles attribuables \u00e0 la conduite avec facult\u00e9s affaiblies, une proportion relativement faible, peut-\u00eatre 5 p. 100, 10 p. 100 ou 15 p. 100, est effectivement le fait de r\u00e9cidivistes. Dans la vaste majorit\u00e9 des cas, il s'agit d'individus qui n'ont jamais \u00e9t\u00e9 arr\u00eat\u00e9s auparavant.</p>"
