Madame Chairperson. The time to have considered these types of questions was a year and a half ago when there was a lot of time to be creative, innovative and open to locating these facilities and to look at every possible design. That time is long gone. We have very little time left to meet the requirements of the inmates and the young offenders. The decisions have been made and it is unfortunate that early on in the spring and summer of 1998, government did not consult the way we are being told it should have been consulting, but the opportunity is long gone and it is time now to move on, get on to designing these. As I said, if this Member wants to help us be creative and involve every possible person in the design of these facilities I am open to it. Thank you.
