Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, it's not an overnight solution. It's a way of doing things that has to be developed and nurtured, and it's more of a longerterm process. With respect to being stacked like cordwood or the overcapacity at our institutions, I recognize the problem. I don't have the solutions overnight to the problem. I know we don't have the capital dollars to continue to expand facilities or establish new facilities just to meet the demands. It's one of the major problems that our government has to deal with. All of us, as Assembly Members, I think it has been recognized, the stress and demand we're creating on our government's fiscal resources. Justice is no different than Health and Social Services or Education because it's just the escalating clientele of the programs within our departments. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
