Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my questions are for the Minister of Justice. Not so long ago, Hay River had a young offender facility. I would like to ask the Minister of Justice some questions about that. Hay River had a facility that was built up with a lands program and a very successful program for youth in our community. We were proud to see them involved in our schools and working in our communities. Those youngsters, those youth, were all shipped over here to Yellowknife. Our qualified staff were scattered across the North. Would the Minister of Justice consider reopening the Dene K'onia Young Offender Facility? I maintain to you today that if we had an ounce of support from the Yellowknife MLAs to keep the Dene K'onia operating for all these same reasons, we wouldn't be having this discussion today. Thank you.
