Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the elders have given us some direction in terms of how to correct things in our life, and by taking us out on the land is one powerful way the teachers have given us. We should try to use this type of philosophy and belief into today's society such as the institution of corrections. I will ask the Minister in terms of how much flexibility can he give in terms of encouraging the inmates who are in these institutions to take advantage of going on the land? I know sometimes policy prevents us. Regulations bar us from going into these types of healing programs. Can the Minister meet with the community, meet with his officials to say let's make this the goal. It is, again, strong, forward thinking and good leadership on behalf of his department to make it happen in the views of the aboriginal people. Thank you.
