        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"3958659\" data-originallang=\"en\">Thank you, Minister.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3958660\" data-originallang=\"en\">We do have waiting lists for various programs. We prioritize the offenders' participation in programs depending on their eligibility dates for potentially day parole, full parole, and statutory release. Ideally those who have a release coming sooner than somebody else will be at the top of the waiting list or already in programs. We target offenders who are likely to be released to go into the programs first, and we'll gauge the right time for those we have for longer periods of time to be placed in programs.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3958661\" data-originallang=\"en\">Because it's a question that the minister has been asked several times, I will mention that although we have very specific drug programs, we have revamped our program suite in the last couple of years so that at the initial stages of admission offenders now are partaking in what's called the integrated correctional program model. They're starting to get the primers for the programs, the prerequisite modules to those programs, within their first 90 days in the institution. We're taking very seriously this issue of getting inmates to programs as soon as possible. We are using the new integrated correctional program model in two of our five regions right now.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"3958659\" data-originallang=\"en\">Merci, monsieur le ministre.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3958660\" data-originallang=\"en\">Il y a effectivement des listes d'attente pour les divers programmes. Au chapitre de la participation des contrevenants aux programmes, nous \u00e9tablissons la priorit\u00e9 en fonction de leur date d'admissibilit\u00e9 \u00e0 la semi-libert\u00e9, la lib\u00e9ration conditionnelle totale et la lib\u00e9ration d'office potentielles. Id\u00e9alement, ceux dont la date d'admissibilit\u00e9 arrive avant d'autres figureront en t\u00eate de liste ou participeront d\u00e9j\u00e0 aux programmes. Nous choisissons les contrevenants susceptibles d'\u00eatre lib\u00e9r\u00e9s pour qu'ils participent aux programmes en premier et nous \u00e9valuerons le moment qui convient pour que ceux qui purgent des peines plus longues y participent.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3958661\" data-originallang=\"en\">Comme il s'agit d'une question au sujet de laquelle le ministre a \u00e9t\u00e9 interrog\u00e9 \u00e0 plusieurs reprises, j'indiquerai que m\u00eame si nous offrons des programmes de d\u00e9sintoxication tr\u00e8s cibl\u00e9s, nous avons remodel\u00e9 notre \u00e9ventail de programmes au cours des derni\u00e8res ann\u00e9es pour qu'aux \u00e9tapes initiales d'admission, les contrevenants participent maintenant \u00e0 ce qu'on appelle le mod\u00e8le de programme correctionnel int\u00e9gr\u00e9. Ils commencent \u00e0 suivre les \u00e9tapes pr\u00e9paratoires, les modules pr\u00e9requis pour ces programmes dans les 90 jours suivant leur arriv\u00e9e \u00e0 l'institution. Nous mettons beaucoup de s\u00e9rieux \u00e0 permettre aux d\u00e9tenus de participer le plus t\u00f4t possible aux programmes. Nous appliquons le nouveau mod\u00e8le de programme correctionnel int\u00e9gr\u00e9 dans deux de nos cinq r\u00e9gions actuellement. </p>"
