Thank you, Mr. Speaker. That has been a concern of myself as the new Minister of Justice when this was suggested. I have asked for information. I have visited facilities in places like Red Deer and Lethbridge in order to see for myself how you can plan to have facilities that are in the same vicinity and still ensure that young offenders do not come into contact with adult facilities. That is required by law.
The concern that the Member is expressing is a concern that I have had from the first day. I have looked at it, and I have also looked at the suggestion that perhaps Yellowknife is not the only location, perhaps we could look at locating this facility or facilities elsewhere, although it is not my prerogative to move it because this has already been decided by Cabinet last year. I have taken the liberty to ask these questions. I am of the view that it is in the public interest to continue the approach that we have taken of planning the two facilities in the same area. By planning it, for instance, we cannot afford two gymnasiums, but we can afford one. We can, by planning properly, have that part of the facility shared by the young offenders, as well as by the adult offenders without any contact made, and the administration, and planning, and the staff will ensure that. I see that happening in other facilities, so I know that it can be done. Thank you.
