Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I am somewhat astounded that the Minister would not be thinking of it as a business and is comparing it to open custody as at Akaitcho Hall. Open custody is for children that have gone through the courts, and that have done wrong in the society. In my opinion, Akaitcho Hall is a facility trying to encourage students to pursue their education, and there is no comparison with it. Mr. Chairman, I wanted to state that for the record, but I wanted to ask the Minister, in respect to pursuing this act to amend the Young Offenders Act, what provisions has his department taken in regard to addressing the insurance component that will be needed in these private homes? Is he indicating that as a department they will assist these individuals to address the insurance component so that they can comply with this act?
