Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, that is very superficial. I just don't know how the Minister can say that, given the numbers that are before him. Anyway, let's move on to the fact that he said that the only extra cost for keeping them here in Yellowknife is the cost of food because the remand unit here in Yellowknife is going to be staffed anyway.

I don't know if the Minister is familiar with the layout of the SMCC in Hay River, but they have a central control area where the remand inmates are accommodated. That remand control area is staffed seven days a week, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. It will continue the operation and have a staff person in there regardless of whether the inmates are there or not. So the same argument can be made for Hay River. Is that not true? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
