Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question is probably more for the Minister of Justice. As I stated in my Member's statement I was quite shocked to read that the average education level of our inmates in our correctional centres is grade 6. We all know that alcohol is involved in the commitment of the majority of offences in the Northwest Territories. I might suggest that the lack of education that many inmates have contributes to their frustration level, which may drive their need to drink, which in turn results in the commission of an offence. I also suggest that if that person only has a grade 6 education, they may have already been sentenced to a hard life regardless of any sentence imposed by the court.
Can the Minister of Justice tell me what literacy program options are available in the correction centres? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
