Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I drive by the Yellowknife Correctional Centre on the way to work every day, and it presents a visual of something that looks very much like a jail. it has very high fences, I do not know how high, I would say probably 12 feet high chain-linked fence with double scrolls of barbed wire along the top of the fence. It looks very much like a prison. I have also seen young offenders facilities. You drive by them. Even secure custody young offenders facilities do not have the appearance or perception of a prison. These young offenders are children by definition. Under this new collocated plan that the government has come up with, will be taking children from the courthouse, I would assume, to a facility such as this with a locked gate, taking them into a facility like this. Has the department or the Minister considered the impact that this will have on children

who are sentenced under the Young Offenders Act? I think it would be anyone's understanding that certainly there must be a desire for rehabilitation and particularly with young people who are very impressionable. I would like to know if the department has considered the impact of taking children to such a facility? Thank you.
