Thank you, Mr. Speaker. As the Member knows, we have community justice committees throughout the Northwest Territories that are doing work in this area. I have asked the department to analyze the success and the frequency with which we are using our community justice committees. I think we have some that have been more successful than others, and I am trying to get a better understanding, and follow some of the trends, to see if we can make improvements to reinforce this very important area of our justice system. In addition, I think the Member is aware, I have agreed to sit down and talk about a way to redouble our efforts in the area of wilderness camp programs. While everybody recognizes the importance of the program and the potential, we haven't been able to deliver the type of service that I would like to see. I am going to take another shot at it and see if we can't come up with a model that can be more successful. I look forward to working with the committee and Members in that regard. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
