Mr. Speaker, there are a number of different ways and a number of different scenarios with many variables, but currently we are looking at bringing people out of the institutions and into the on-the-land camps. It could be envisioned that people, upon sentencing, end up going and doing some work right in the camps on the land. As I discussed yesterday, there are a number of criteria, a number of tests that need to be met. The inmate has to want to go and participate and it has to be deemed to be safe. But all these things, all of these considerations can be dealt with on a case-by-case basis. I think we are certainly prepared to come and talk to Members more about how we can ensure more of our inmates are on the land and getting programming there as opposed to in our institutions. I think it has a lot of merit. Thank you.
