Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, the honourable Member's question is a good one. In the Department of Justice, we also handle corrections and the whole area of community justice is new. It is a new area in terms of the amount of years that it has been there. We are developing the concept as we go along. My own position on community justice is I am very supportive of it because it incorporates people in the community being involved for the minor cases.

Where it is working effectively, it involves dedicated people, community people and it has helped the community heal. Not too many cases come forward to the more established correctional system and court system. It helps in that way.

It is a new area and I would like to see more focus put on that area and to try to build that up. The people who have been working on it for the last few years, since it started, have contributed greatly to that program. We need to look at that and put more emphasis on it.

On the more structured institutions, I know there is a huge increase to that because of the young offenders' facility, we are compelled to do it. We cannot continue to use the Dene K'Onia Young Offenders Facility in Hay River for what we are using it for. We are given a certain period of time to move young offenders, young female offenders and young male offenders out of there. So there is a compelling reason to do it. We all agreed that the female young offender facility is going to be in Inuvik a long time ago. That will see an increase in staff and training and so forth. So there is a big bump in the cost in that.

In the male young offenders' facility, it was decided it would come here to Yellowknife. We also need to train additional people to run those two facilities. So by that, through the fire marshal's decision and the need to have better secure facilities for our young offenders, we have to go in that direction.

As for the jail, the correctional centre is in very bad shape. There was a decision some time ago to build a new one. We are following that course of action and that sees a huge increase in the capital cost, but the training in additional ongoing costs is mainly for the young offenders in terms of staff.

We need to do both. Perhaps the cost for the community corrections program is not as high as we would like it to be. It is something that is growing and we hope to put more emphasis and more thought into how it could work better. Thank you.
