	Transport Canada - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Transport Canada is responsible for the Transportation Safety Board of Canada which investigates accidents involving the marine, air, and rail industries.
		Until 1996, Transport Canada was reponsible for both regulation of aviation and the operation of air traffic services, similar to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in the United States, as well as the operation of most major airports.
		Transport Canada continues to be responsible for licensing pilots and other aviation specialists (such as dispatchers and mechanics) as well as registering and inspecting aircraft.

	Corrections Canada Assailed In Suit Over LSD Experiment (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Ontario's Superior Court of Justice, which is hearing the case, considered halting the action and declaring victory for the woman who launched the lawsuit, because of the government's failure to disclose information to her lawyers about use of the hallucinogen in Canadian prisons in the late 1950s and early 1960s.
		Proctor's argument that Ole Ingstrup, head of Corrections Canada, should testify about the LSD lawsuit, citing the government's failure to supply a sworn affidavit of documents, the lack of disclosure to date and the "evasive material" filed by federal officials.

	COMMUNITY CORRECTIONS
		Community corrections alternatives may not be used to divert offenders from prison, in which case they can actually increase correctional costs because jail populations remain constant and there are the additional costs of the community programs.
		In Canada, changes to corrections and conditional release over the past 25 years have resulted in increased use of community corrections to extend the correctional supervision of certain classes of offenders.
		There are three related issues in examining the economics of community corrections: the cost of community corrections compared with incarceration, the ability for community corrections to reduce the prison population and the potential for "widening the net" of social control.

	PRIVATIZATION OF CORRECTIONS
		Correctional Service of Canada (CSC) has over 150 halfway houses that are operated under contract to CSC by voluntary and non-profit organizations.
		McCrie (1993) states three factors that have enabled the privatization of correctional facilities to emerge as an acceptable operational concept: “the growing cost of incarceration; the failure of costly, extensive, and well-intentioned rehabilitative experiments; and the willingness of government and the public to consider privatization of incarcerations”(p.27).
		While the re-involvement of the private sector in Canada is still progressing cautiously and on a relatively limited scale, the recent significant reorganization of CORCAN indicates that there is a serious government commitment to pursue the joint venture option.

	MANDATE AND PRINCIPLES OF ADULT CORRECTIONS IN CANADA
		Correctional services are an essential part of a coordinated and interdependent criminal justice system, and are provided by various levels of government as well as the voluntary sector in Canada.
		Correctional services must not impose further punishment in relation to the offender's crime and must adopt the least restrictive course of action that is sufficient to meet the legal requirements of the dispositions.
		Correctional agencies have a responsibility to present and promote a wide range of programs and services developed to meet the legitimate needs and interests of the offenders and to encourage and facilitate their participation.

	The Corrections - Jonathan Franzen
		The Corrections isn’t an especially bad novel, but it failed to hold me. The characters are rather cloudy; he keeps telling you what they are like, but none of them leaps off the page or stays in the mind.
		The Corrections is a good, old-fashioned novel, the writing and presentation seemingly effortless (with only a few sententious and too-clever slips where Franzen tries to do more than he can carry off), the characters and stories engaging.
		Curiously, practically no one thinks Oprah has done anything wrong, though of course she has: the only thing that counts is the book, and the quality and the significance of book has nothing to do with its author, no matter how rude and obnoxious and arrogant he might be.

		Corrections Canada has refused permission for convicted schoolgirl killer Paul Bernardo to hold a press conference or otherwise speak to the media.

	Canada's pampered criminals (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Dave Pisapio, Correction Canada's assistant director for the Toronto region, admitted officials may have underestimated public concern about the transfer of Walter Jacobson, who has a 40-year history of sex offences, from a federal penitentiary to the Keele Centre, just blocks from Holly's home and within walking distance of seven schools.
		For the resolution of this controversy, we are therefore in the bizarre position of having to thank a multiple sex offender for his common sense in proactively rectifying a terrible decision made by government authorities.
		Indeed, since Corrections Canada believes most offenders can be rehabilitated best "outside an institutional setting," it has been working diligently for the past decade to ensure no more than half of criminals sentenced to federal time -- two years or more in prison -- serve their sentences all, or mostly, outside a bricks-and-bars penitentiary.
