Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, it is my understanding, no, because of the fact that they are federal inmates. If they are in that institution, they have sentences of two years or more, and that is part of the reason that they are there. Also part of the reason that they are there, is the fact that some of the programming is not available in the Northwest Territories. Any of the federal inmates that we may have in the Territories are held by us, only as a result of an exchange agreement that we have with the federal officials, Mr. Speaker.
