‘This is in response to your request submitted under the Access fo Information Act on
February 18, 2014 for:
“In 2012, the Safe Streets and Communities Act (Bill C-10) amended the Corrections
and Conditional Release Act (CCRA), to allow Correctional Services Canada (CSC) to
“demand” that an individual wear a monitoring device in order to monitor their
compliance.”
‘We have carefully searched our records and were unsuccessful in identifying or retrieving any
records regarding your request other than the following comments from our office of primary
interest.
CSC has no internal records, intemal communications, briefing notes, power point decks that
speak or reference information pertaining to the 3 areas.
1) The current number of offenders using the electronic monitoring program. Since 2013,
‘CSC has not had any offenders on Electronic Monitoring (EM).
2) The cost ofthe program per offender.
‘Since CSC has not had any offenders on EM since 2013 it does not have a cost per
offender. That said, depending of the technology used the average rental cost for the
equipment, software and monitoring is between $5.00 and $12.00 a day per offender.
3) The number of people that have to pay for their electronic monitoring compared to the
‘umber paid by CSC.
Again since 2013 CSC has not had any offenders on EM we cannot comment of any
comparison. If and when CSC demands an offender wear a device, they will not have to
pay for EM"
