Thank you, Madam Chairperson. In response to provide additional information to Mr. Krutko, one of the urgent requirements we had is to provide remand facilities that are adequate for young offenders. Presently, we put young offenders, for instance, in the Inuvik jail and Yellowknife. They are the same jail facilities, holding cells in the same area as adults. We have no remand capacity whatsoever. It is urgent that we have that provided to young offenders, for female offenders and for adult offenders. I think it is important to point that out to the Member. There is some urgency to proceed with facilities, for providing facilities, adequate facilities, not only for the adults but also for the young offenders. A remand facility right now is required urgently. Thank you.
