Mr. Speaker, we have designed Hay River as a facility which could be used as an open custody facility, a closed custody facility or for the purpose of dealing with remands. As far as I know, it complies with the conditions required by the courts as to what can be designed as secure or open. What we are trying to achieve is some flexibility so the long-term planning and best use of the facilities which we currently have can be done without having to spend additional money. This is the course of action we have decided to take. Thank you.
