Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, this program is, for me, very important. I think that it has a unique northern background to it, and I would like to continue to see the development of this program. Yes, there has not been a very good strategic plan in the past; the program just sort of developed. Some of the operators have done very well in helping people in the North to go through a healing and rehabilitation program out on the land, rather than being in the institution. It is a very good alternative for justice here in the North and I would like to see it continue. There is a review underway, like I said earlier, and as soon as we have some form of a strategic plan in place, which I am told will be ready by the middle of December, we will try to implement it as soon as we can following that, some time in the new year. Thank you.
