(Translation) Mahsi, Madam Speaker. I want to ask the Minister of Justice, when you build things, power and fuel and everything that is included in the house are very expensive. I've already said this before. When you build a prison that big, maybe you don't need some of these things. They could use wood or they could live the traditional lifestyle of Dene people. Now, Madam Speaker, many of the people who are in the prisons now, it's like they live in glass houses, they don't work. Maybe if they were out working, cutting wood and things like that, maybe they would feel useful. Living in a prison, maybe if they lived the traditional ways they might change their ways. That is why I want to ask him, if they could work at things like that; if you think the white way you lose the traditional Dene lifestyle. That is why I want to say if you build a prison and they live the traditional Dene lifestyle in the prisons, maybe they will change their ways. Thank you.
