Mr. Chairman, as the Members know, I have the comfort of having a Deputy Minister sit with me when we are having a discussion on the budget, and that is one of the items that is up for discussion. I know when we are dealing with open custody and corrections in general, and justice issues, we will continue to keep working with social workers and the Department of Justice, particularly seeking their input and advice on issues like this. There is, as the Member knows, an increased interest in many communities to become much more involved in the administration of justice in areas of what would be considered suitable open custody, which will be given a broad and liberal interpretation. Thank you.
