Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I am also pleased to hear that response. Mr. Chairman, I do not want to monopolize this discussion, but I have one further question for the Minister. It is my sense from my community and region that taking care of young offenders, and particularly having aboriginal people look after their own children, seems to be a priority with the community justice meetings and initiatives that I have heard about. Am I correct that this seems to be a theme that is emerging throughout the territories? I know he has participated in many more meetings and consultations than I have. Am I correct when I say looking after youth is a pattern that is appearing as a priority in many parts of the territories? If so, can we expect this to be a priority of the department in its community justice initiatives? Will youth be a focus? Thank you.
