Thank you, Mr. Chairman. We’ve had a great deal of discussion on the program delivery officers at North Slave Correctional Centre. I won’t go over everything again, but suffice it to say, I believe there’s some question on this side of the House whether or not the frequency and the reliability of programming at that centre is going to be impacted as a result of these two program delivery officers being let go. I also wanted to say again for the record, I believe decisions like this fly in the face of the government’s overall goal of having safer communities. Without programming,

quality programming, timely programming at North Slave Correctional Centre for the inmates who are there that are going to end up back in our communities…. They need to have that programming, so that when they do go back to our communities, they are rehabilitated to the best of our ability, anyway.

With that, Mr. Chairman, I’d like to ask for a recorded vote on this motion. Thank you.
