I would like to make one more quick comment, Mr. Chairman. I agree that we can have further discussion on this issue in the fall. Since the Legislative Assembly is planning to go look at the Navajo reserve, particularly their justice system and their correctional systems, perhaps I can suggest to the Minister, with the delegation of the Legislative Assembly and the women's groups, that he might want to consider bringing some people from his correctional centres so that they can look at the model based community justice system which they have on the Navajo reserve. It would be easier for us to be able to relate those to them when we get back in the fall to discuss this. Thank you.
