Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is for the Minister of Justice. Last fall, I received a report from a group of inmates in a southern institution and I spoke on that the last session, with regard to concerns those inmates have with respect to their incarceration in the south. I understand that the territorial government has signed a service agreement with the federal government covering northern inmates now in southern institutions, and according to my information, this program will see 15 inmates transferred to the Salvation Army for programs to help them prepare for full parole. My question to the Minister is can he provide an update on this program for us?
