Mr. Speaker, the answer is, yes. It is the view of the Department of Justice and the government that we need to support any suggestions or development of community-based facilities for dealing with young offenders. We can perhaps even extend this to adult offenders in the future. We are presently reviewing possible types of facilities, programs and support systems which we need to put in place in order to ensure that communities and groups who propose to initiate and run such facilities are given adequate support and that adequate resources are provided for such initiatives. I would like to assure the Member this is the way we believe we should go in the future. Thank you.
