Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, I was answering for both departments. It is no different in that there are limited resources for the Department of Justice, as well. There are increased demands because of a growing population and the higher incarceration rates, less tolerance by the courts, by the public for acts of violence that add to the pressure on the system, particularly on the correctional side. I think there is also, I guess in another issue, for both Justice and Health and Social Services, that some of the facilities requirements, quite frankly, those are two of the departments, that historically have been under funded in the past, even when there was adequate and sufficient capital resources available. Those facilities are deteriorating and coming to the end of their useful life. In a lot of circumstances need to be renovated or replaced over the course of the next few years, Madam Chair. Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I will have to phrase this in the way of a question, I suppose. I would like to thank the Minister for his cooperation over the past couple of years. Can I be assured that it will continue?
