Mahsi. The one area which I have some difficulty with is the recommendation to upgrade and expand the existing facilities in Iqaluit, Hay River and Yellowknife. Mr. Speaker, my opinion is that new beds are required and that new facilities be built, and that these new facilities be located in regions in centrally located communities which do not have adequate institutions. For example, there are no institutions of these kinds in the Inuvik region, the Kitikmeot region and the Deh Cho area. I fully support the intention to repatriate federal offenders back to the north and support the construction of new facilities to house these prisoners, but place them in communities which need economic boosts. Mahsi.
