Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have a question to the Minister of Justice. A concern was raised in Baker Lake just recently, and as a result the mayor of Baker Lake wrote a letter asking the Minister about young offenders or people who have been detained in the local jail for weekend purposes. In a response to the mayor, the minister writes that it is the policy of the force that a member of the force must be present when family members or friends visit an inmate in cells or at the detachment. I would like to know whether, when people are being held in the detachment and for non-violent reasons, they would be able to go in and visit their family members and their friends. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
