There is some country food for commercial sale, but they are very expensive. We will provide to the Member the menus and the type of food served at all correctional institutions across the Northwest Territories. I am sure that there would be some input at least by Members to the type of menus we should strive to provide at these institutions. They should more reflect a menu of local fish and wild meats. We will do that. At this time, it is just incredibly expensive to do. People run these institutions within an allotted budget. As I say, the menus will be provided to Members so they can see for themselves what is provided in these institutions.
