Committee Motion 2-16(2) To Delete $500,000 For Fort Smith Health Centre — HSS Committee Motion Not Carried
Consideration in Committee of the Whole of Bills and Other Matters

February 17th, 2008

David Ramsay Kam Lake

Mr. Chairman, I’ve had a tour of the North Slave Correctional Centre. It’s in my riding. It’s not Bowden and it’s not Drumheller. You know, we’ve gone to more of a holistic approach with Corrections. I don't know if having a fence built around the young offenders unit and the North Slave Correctional Centre is necessary. Somebody might be able to convince me of that at some point, but not today; not when we’re faced with the reductions going on.

I would be interested to hear how many people have escaped from the North Slave Correctional Centre and the young offenders unit, because when something like that happens, you usually hear it on

the radio, and I just haven’t, probably going back about ten or 12 years to when the old YCC was there in the corner of Kam Lake and Old Airport Road. Somebody escaped from there, but that was a long time ago.

See context to find out what was said next.
