Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I don't know what to pursue today, maybe I'll just continue on with my Member's statement. To the Minister of Justice, Mr. Speaker, on the issue surrounding low morale problems and high vacancy rate and high overtime and such, I see two problems there. One is that I don't think there's recognition on the part of the Minister, he's never admitted or acknowledged that there is any kind of problem and the more he says that, the more our phone lines and our e-mails and everything is burning up because people are getting really, really frustrated. The second thing is the more we ask questions to the Minister and the department about these problems, the answer keeps coming back saying well, it's because there is a transition going on at the centre and whenever there is transition there are problems with change. That seems to not be the one that people are accepting either. They don't believe that is the problem. They have no problem accepting that. It's a whole lot of things. Mr. Speaker, one thing that keeps coming up is the fact that the warden of the correctional centre is related to a senior manager in the department and I'm very uncomfortable with this idea. This is a very small town and these are very good people, I'm sure they are doing a good job. I want to know from the Minister, to assure the people out there, what steps have been taken to ensure that there's no direct supervisory link. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
