Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, the community correctional centres were just that; they were correctional centres for minimum-security-type offenders who would have been able to stay within their communities. In the past government, there was substantive effort to try to place emphasis on that type of programming; however, as I indicated earlier, although some capital dollars were identified, there were no operations or maintenance funding identified and that lead to a dilemma for the department in how they would carry out this program given their limited resources. As I indicated before, that issue hasn't been resolved to date. Thank you.
