Final report of the Steering Committee on Split in Jurisdiction in Corrections.: JS42-136/1978E-PDF

At their June 1977 meeting, the Ministers responsible for Corrections reviewed the work of two Task Forces on Long Term Objectives in Corrections (the B.C./Federal Study and the Federal/Provincial Study) and requested that the three following options be examined in greater depth: ... The provinces take over all adult corrections ... The federal government take over all adult offenders sentenced to more than six months ... The establishment of a joint federal/provincial corporation to be responsible for all corrections within a province ... In October 1977, the Deputy Ministers responsible for Corrections decided that the examination should concentrate on the financial implications of the alternatives, although other implications should also be considered. In January 1978, the Steering Committee which had been formed to oversee the study had its first meeting, during which the approach to the study was developed and the following four decisions made: That the basis for the financial analysis would be an updated version of the data supplied by all jurisdictions to the National Task Force on the Administration of Justice; That the study would be conducted by regional teams comprising a representative of each of the following: the province or provinces, the National Parole Board, the Regional Headquarters of the Canadian Corrections Service; That the Policy Planning and Evaluation Division of the Secretariat of the Ministry of the Solicitor General would provide the overall co-ordination of the study; That two more options should be examined, namely: any combination of the first three options; and the federal government take over of all sentenced offenders"--Background, pages 1-2.
