Thank you, Mr. Speaker. In light of the overcrowding and amount of hours guards and inmates, we are seeing a real increase in the number of inmates. I think that is one alternative this government can look at, in savings, due to increases we are seeing in the budget regarding overtime for the guards. This is one way that you stimulate the economy of the Beaufort Delta. Mr. Speaker, I would like to ask the Minister if he can seriously consider looking at this proposal and considering there will be savings in the long-run and considering the increased costs to this government in regard to the number of inmates we have in our facilities now, would he take that into consideration and put a serious effort to look at this proposal?
