Thank you, Mr. Chairman. My question to the Minister is in regards to community justice, especially in my riding. In Aklavik, there is an individual who has been providing this service to the government for almost 20 years. He has found it difficult to try to carry out a business where you do not have any clients. The department has said it is an individual's choice to go where they want. But then it comes back to the comment that was made during the presentation by the department that was reviewing this. We have to realize that we have to assist businesses regardless of where they are. You do not have the option of picking and choosing which camp you want to go to over another camp.
With that, I would like to know if we can get an actual number of facilities and how many clients we have now that provide this service to this government. Do you have such a list that would also include where each facility is located? Also, can you tell me how many clients, in the last two years, have they had in each of those locations? Then we will be able to see that there is a real discretion on how people use these facilities.
It is basically a question of choice for inmates. We do not tell young offenders they have a choice in which camp they want to attend. You go to the young offenders' facility that you are told to go. When we have this question about choice, it really does not support the initiative we had about community justice, allowing these bush camps to develop so that they can sustain themselves. The way it is right now, they cannot do that. Can the Minister tell me how many of these facilities are out there? Where are they located? I would like to know how clients have been allocated to each of these facilities. Thank you.
