Mr. Speaker, the report was written by the staff of the Department of Justice. It was initially done by the staff in Fort Smith and revised by the senior staff here, to the format it is now in. I should remind Members that this report resulted from a call from the Member of Thebacha last year, asking if a status report could be made available to Members, with regard to the facilities in Fort Smith, Hay River and Iqaluit for young offenders being triple designated.

It arose, also, out of a question about whether the changes we were making were conflicting with court cases and with legislation that governs in this area. The staff were involved because there was concern it might be against their wishes that this triple designation was imposed. I think Members wanted to know if the management and staff from River Ridge were of the view that they were capable and willing to make these changes. They wanted some indication of whether it met the interests of the public, whether it met the needs of this government, and whether it provided for the needs of the young offenders and the staff. I believe the report, in very simple terms, lays that all out. Thank you.
