Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, at this current time, I have not instructed the department to develop a relief program for any of the camps. We want to conclude the review and then take it from there. So, there is no relief at this point in time to any of the camp operators. The only thing that I could say is that the camp operators have had difficulties in maintaining the operations due to the inability to guarantee a consistent number of inmates. Not all inmates are suitable to go to camp. They go through an evaluating process and there are different numbers that go out to the different camps at different times, so it is a difficult situation to guarantee a consistent number of offenders to go to these camps. That all has to be taken into consideration when we look at the review, but again, there is no relief planned of any sort at this point in time. Thank you.
