Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I understand that a member has to be present when a family member or friend visits, but what I am asking is that there are security guards who are hired to sit in at a time when a member is not there, and this is the question that has been raised by people in Baker Lake, because there is a person there who is guarding the cells. Why are they not able to come in and visit their family members, especially when the person who is detained has not committed a violent crime? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
