Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, looking through Mr. Arlooktoo's Minister's statement about community justice, I would like to applaud and salute the Minister for recognizing the need to have more community control for administration of justice, Mr. Speaker. However, I have some very serious questions as to the locations of the potential camp dealing with offenders. When you look through the pages of the Minister's statement, on the last page, page five, the Minister talks about, and I quote "Discussion with potential camp operators are currently taking place with community members from Pond Inlet, Pangnirtung, Kimmirut" - that is his home community -"Hall Beach, Cape Dorset, Iqaluit and Clyde River". All are the Baffin region. What about regions like the Keewatin, more importantly, the Kitikmeot? At the appropriate time, Mr. Speaker, I will be asking the Minister as to who decides where the location of the camps should be. Thank you.
