I offer a warm welcome to Mr. Johnson and appreciate his coming to address the committee. I commend the work of his organisation. This committee is very interested in the causes of crime and in dealing with issues. It tries to assist prisoners and come up with new and radical ideas. I have some brief questions. Mr. Johnson mentioned the gap he wanted to bridge. Does he mean the gap between the political system and the prisoner or that between the prison service and the prisoner?
