Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I appreciate the Minister's response to continue to help the contractors, who are doing valuable work and working towards rehabilitating those young offenders back to their communities and enable them to live in their own communities. I am told that in schedule A...This facility is run by a family, a husband and wife, and they have to produce nutritional meal that the kids will eat. He was telling me he doesn't know the nutritional value of seal and he didn't know the value of caribou, shrimp, fish or polar bear. I would be required to give the department the nutritional value of the food I feed the kids ahead of time. That would require me to deal with paperwork rather than dealing with the young people who are in trouble. His concern was that he would not be able to take them out again. He would be forced to stay in town so that he could satisfy the department. That is my concern. I hope the department would look at their proposal since the act has not been changed, since the department has taken over that responsibility from Social Services. The communication between Social Services and the contractor was very good, I hope that will continue. Thank you.
