Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to direct my question to the Minister of Justice. It is again with regard to a certain individual in the women's correctional centre. The Minister wrote to me on March 3 with regard to the situation of how an inmate can stay in the north, even when they receive a sentence which is longer than three years. He refers to the Corrections and Conditional Release Act. My question to the Minister is, under the present Corrections Act of the territories and the federal Corrections and Conditional Release Act, what are the requirements for an inmate to be released on day parole by those two acts? Do they differ? I understand if you serve two thirds of your term you can be released for good behaviour. On day parole, I believe it is after 50 per cent of your term you can be released on day parole to do work or training. I would like to know the criteria with regard to people going out on training or people who are on work release, unsupervised.
