Mr. Speaker, I thought the answer was clear. I will try to reword it. When the young offenders come into care under the responsibility of the Department of Justice, they are sentenced to open or secure custody. The government takes it upon itself to ensure that they comply fully with all the conditions set out by the courts and existing legislation to ensure that there is no charge which can be substantiated if negligence or any suggestion that we are not complying with the conditions and the letters set out in law on how we are supposed to carry out our responsibilities. In fact, it is done since this responsibility was taken by this government.
