Mr. Speaker, the security procedures in these facilities are of a confidential nature. I'm not going to elaborate on them because there are people who
will be going into these facilities at some time or other, including the present occupants who would very much enjoy reading Hansard and hearing it through the media. I don't think that's the intention of this legislature.
I do know that we have security procedures and operational manuals that are reviewed to make sure these reflect our assessment, and those of the people who manage these facilities, that the procedures and security measures we take reflect the needs as assessed by the managers of these facilities. We are trying to set up a system where we, on a regular basis, monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of these procedures.
I said, about a month or so ago this was done at River Ridge. As far as I know -- I haven't seen the written report yet -- but there was no call for immediate or urgent changes to procedures at that time. It may be that staff may have been momentarily lax in one or two small areas, it's humanly expected sometimes. That may have lead or allowed the incident to develop the way it did the other night. Thank you.
