Mr. Chair, of course we’re not in a business. We provide services to the Northwest Territories and we do fall under the federal Corrections Act as well. There are liability issues as well. We have to take all that into consideration. Tl'oondih has been operating in the past and I think those are the areas we’ve focused on in the past and that’s part of the reason why this justice committee we’ve been pushing lately as part of the preventive measure. Of course, we don’t want people in a system, let’s say behind bars, if we can do something at the community level. I think that’s part of the reason why we’re investing so much into the community justice area. Having correctional inmates out on the land, as well, and rehabilitating them back into the community, those are the areas that we are focusing on within our Justice department. With the Arctic Tern, we’re at the stage where we need to decide what to do, I guess in April, with the input from the Members. That’s where we are with that, Mr. Chair. Mahsi.
