Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The department has been looking at, on an ongoing basis, repatriation of all the clients we have that are out-of-territory. We have been looking at the cost-effectiveness of having our own facilities versus sending our clients, as we would call them, to southern jurisdictions. Because our numbers are increasing for sending youth and children to southern facilities, we are looking at that once again as to the cost-effectiveness of that and looking at, whether it would indeed be more fiscally prudent to have facilities in the Northwest Territories and treat from within the territories instead of sending residents south. Thank you.
