Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, again, I am not sure of the answer to that question. In fact, if I could clarify what these monies are used for. One, they encourage inmates to work. What little monies they receive allow inmates to buy things like personal hygiene products like toothpaste, tobacco, pop, et cetera, with the small amounts of spending money. When I provide the Member with a picture of the total budget, it will also provide the Member with the information on whether these similar amounts or any amounts are paid for by other jurisdictions. Thank you.
