Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The transfer of corrections to the Department of Justice has, in fact, been accomplished. The majority of the person years associated with that program have gone to that department. Social Services, under a memorandum of understanding, will be continuing to do the community corrections work for approximately two and a half more years. This was done as
recognition of the fact that in order to plan the community corrections program and the broader community justice initiative, time was required to do the planning properly. So, one of the things the Department of Social Services is doing in contributing to this initiative, is endeavouring to carry on in providing the community corrections services.
With respect to focusing on the wildlife harvesting program, certainly the department is engaged in working together with Renewable Resources, Education and Economic Development and Tourism in looking at ways in which to improve services to people who are on social assistance and, hopefully, moving them off social assistance or certainly assisting them in becoming less dependent on social assistance.
