Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I think we can do that. I think that what we can do more of is having information sessions, Mr. Speaker, with inmates who are in our institutions to help them understand what kind of programming would be available to them on the land. I think it's very important. Again, as I indicated, inmates have to want to go, but I do think that many of them would want to go if they fully understand what is offered and what is available. There are, obviously, some expectations of these inmates and it is a commitment and it can be gruelling. It can be difficult to sit down and come to grips with many of these issues that have been suppressed for some time, but there's a lot of value in doing it. I think, Mr. Speaker, we should and I certainly will commit to making sure we sit down with inmates in the institutions and brief them exactly on what is available. I hope to be able to do this across the entire territory as we have more of these available in other regions. I think we need to build on this success. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
