Since it costs the federal government, no doubt, substantial sums of money for transportation, because those inmates would have to be escorted down to those institutions, I am just wondering if it would be feasible to look at the possibility of what was originally considered to add on to the institution here in Yellowknife and put in a maximum institution here. Since the federal government is paying for this program anyway, would they not consider the possibility of putting infrastructure here?
