Well, attempting to keep things in perspective, Mr. Chairman, I'd like to ask the Minister if he can attempt to answer my question. I'm trying to see what the Department of Justice is doing with respect to the current facilities to try to avoid continual reoccurrence of break outs? I just want to make a comment. If you look at Yellowknife Correctional Centre, you have all different types of inmates there and there are things in place at YCC to avoid breakouts, there are stricter systems in place. Be it through camera monitors, or through the bull pen having razor wire. You have things in place that discourages inmates from breaking our. In the young offenders facility, it seems that either young offenders are encouraged to break away or you're not putting strict types of systems in place to avoid these break outs. As a result, you're adding a lot of discomfort to the public, because of what they do when they breakout. There is no doubt they are troubled youth. Normally, youth that break out of facilities don't take people hostage at gunpoint or severely beat somebody. I'm trying to find out what methods the Minister's department has put in place to make every effort to discourage them from breaking out of these facilities? Thank you.
