Thank you, Mr. Chairman. My understanding is that every inmate is assessed when he enters an institution and a program is set up for that inmate. It depends on what the crime is and the history the inmate has. There could be things that corrections determines the inmate has to work on, issues this inmate has to work on if this inmate is going to progress and hopefully lead a non-criminal life when he or she is released. Some inmates, and for other reasons, the bush camp experience is not made available to them. There are a number who are free to sign up for bush camps and they get to choose the bush camps they wish to go to. We do our best not to interfere or try to steer inmates to a certain camp or in a particular direction. Thank you.
