Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is to the Minister of Justice. The Minister of Justice should recall that on June 24, my colleague from Baffin Central pointed out that prior to the transfer of corrections, there were 254 correction positions, only 74 of these were filled by aboriginal people, and only one management position was filled by an aboriginal person. Recognizing that about 90 percent of the inmate population in the territorial correction facilities is made up of persons who are of aboriginal descent, will the Minister explain how it is possible to establish a culturally relevant correction program when aboriginal people are so under represented among the staff that works with the offenders?
