Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Thank you, Mr. Minister. I hope you're not going to be building any other facilities in other regions. Like you say, there are camps and other facilities. There is one facility and I know there are other camps around south of the lake here, bush camps that should have more invested into those facilities. There is one up in Inuvik called the Tl'oondih Healing Society that had a camp there. I know there's work going on up there. I think that's been a success. I haven't seen any reports yet from the department's office in terms of how successful, but I think those type of wilderness camps need to be invested into the regions for a lot of reasons. I think you already heard, Mr. Minister, all the reasons why camps should be in the regions and communities.
As my colleague from Nunakput said, we're not seeing too much investment into our communities in terms of justice
and that...We have to go back. Mr. Braden also talked about going back to the smaller communities to explain to them why we are having a new $41 million courthouse in Yellowknife and we're struggling with all these other costs. It's hard to wrap their explanation into the people's minds. We keep sending them for sentencing, the judge does that, and there's a high cost of living again in the region. So there are lots of complex issues and for the people in the small communities, you should just put them out somewhere. The ones that are causing a lot of trouble need to be coming to this facility, but the ones that are less risk to the community can go out to one of those camps.
I understand the need for a new courthouse; don't get me wrong. There is a case here put by the PWS in terms of a new courthouse, but it just doesn't seem like we're regionalizing things. It seems like we're coming together, but we're not saying it. That's why I'm having some trouble, Mr. Chairman, in terms of seeing if there are dollars going into the regions in terms of preventive justice and promoting the camps more in our regions. We haven't heard many success stories from the camps that are existing right now. I know Mr. Dent did indicate that they're going to do more promotion of the wilderness camps, which is a good start. But I haven't heard enough yet in terms of how well those camps are doing or what kind of support they need. I know there was a pilot project that went up in Tl'oondih in Fort McPherson in terms of inmates going into that facility there. We haven't heard much of that. I'm not too sure why we're not hearing that. There is no investment going into that. I don't know. Are there plans for more dollars next year going into it, are we going to see a huge increase? So those are the comments I have right now, Mr. Chairman.
