Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, since taking over this portfolio and looking at this department, the concern that is raised by different inmates about the bush camps and going out on the land rather than being warehoused in Yellowknife or Hay River, is a very big concern of mine as well.
With the rate of pay that is being offered to the different operators, which is insufficiently stated here, I have asked for a review of this whole initiative of this government to re-evaluate this camp and this program to see how we could improve on it.
Hopefully, in the next few months, we will have a very good understanding of this program, including the pool of inmates for the adults and young offenders that are out there. Hopefully, we will have a better understanding of what we are dealing with.
I do not really know how the department was factoring everything in to come up with this program. Certainly with reviewing the current state of this program, and the little bit of time that I have been here, it is clear we have to do a thorough review. Hopefully, with the input of Members here as well as the current operators, we can come up with a very good program.
