A 2015 study by Correctional Service Canada found about 3% of those federally incarcerated were veterans.

Tories would twin highways, fund other safety measures
A Jamie Baillie government would twin dangerous highways: the 101 from Three Mile Plains to Falmouth, 103 from Tantallon to East River, 104 from Sutherland’s River to Antigonish, and a four-lane divided connector between Burnside and Bedford. The Tories would also invest $30 million for safety measures on untwinned highway sections.
