Mr. Speaker, the facility was built at a cost of around $14 million, I understand. It’s six years old and was built to house young female offenders. We have people that believed us when we said, “Go get training and we’ll employ you.” So they’ve done that. Moving them around the territory is not an option. These are people who were born and raised around there, so they would obviously like to stay. I would like to ask the Minister if this proposed closure of Arctic Tern is dependent on this budget being passed.
