Thank you, Mr. Chairman. There is legislation that compels us to provide correctional facilities for adults and for young offenders. They are very clear and explicit, and there are facilities elsewhere in Canada that meet the requirements of the law in regard to the type of facilities that are provided and meet the requirement that the young offenders be treated and provide facilities and services separately from adults. It has been researched, and we have met with officials from other institutions that provide similar services and we are quite comfortable that it will be done in accordance to the requirements. Thank you.
