Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The Member is correct that there are a number of different reasons that inmates could be placed in that area. The issue of having to have somebody there 24-7 is one that isn't normally the case or wouldn't normally be the case. Unless somebody is on a suicide watch, you don't have to have somebody there all the time. There are cameras in place. If it becomes an issue, if a certain inmate was repeatedly going to that situation, then we would have to take a look at transferring the inmate to the North Slave Correctional Centre where the facilities are set up for that. Thank you.
