Mr. Chairman, the answer is, yes. We want to look at initiatives which are coming from communities. We want to look at initiatives which propose to have community-based, land-based programming, but we also know that sending young offenders or adult offenders out on the land with an aboriginal family, is not going to resolve all the problems. Again, we go back to the point that some of the resources have to go toward asking agencies to help us develop some suitable programming that can be available to the operators of some of these community-based institutions to provide for the needs of the people they take in. All the operations we have now for closed custody facilities and the open custody facilities, are being reviewed with a view to move in the direction that the Member has indicated.
