Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, as I said, this is in response to the requirements of the Young Offenders Act. I know that those requirements set out that the facility must protect the interest of the young people who are incarcerated. It must be a facility that families can visit. There are all sorts of issues that will be considered while the facility is built, but it is largely being built in response to the requirement of the Young Offenders Act, those young people who are sentenced to attend such a facility by the courts. Therefore, the physical makeup of the facility is fairly strictly determined. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
