Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question also has to do with the Member's statement earlier that I made with regard to the transfer of the Territorial Treatment Centre. Mr. Speaker, there are lots of issues involved in this with respect to the decision, but I think the more important and crucial question that I'm hearing from the people impacted are the way in which this has been done. Mr. Speaker, as I stated, I don't think any of us wants to hear the bad news that within a year or two we're going to lose our jobs that we love, that we have been trying to do and are committed to and such. But if that was to happen, I think we would like to be told in a more respectful manner than reading it on the front page of the newspaper. It seems that because these 27 people are not government employees and they're not unionized, where there has to be more process in place, it seems that they're really hurt. I can tell you, Mr. Speaker, that these employees are really hurt that their jobs and their lives are being treated as though they're not as valuable as the government employees. Has the Minister and the department given any thought to being more sensitive to these people who are being personally impacted with the loss of their jobs? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
