Thank you, Mr. Chairman. My understanding is that under the Corrections Act of the Northwest Territories and the regulations to that act, an inmate who has been charged internally, as it were, with some offence, be it having contraband in his position or attempting to strike a guard or something like that, they have an opportunity to give full answer in defense before a committee. I believe they are entitled to be represented by counsel, depending on the nature of the charge. If it is one that could involve loss of privileges or be put into confinement, then the inmate is entitled to be represented by counsel. That, as I understand, is the process.
