Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. I appreciate the Member’s questions in this specific area. This is one of the priorities that we have at North Slave Correctional Centre, that in order to rehabilitate the individuals to the communities, we need to give them opportunities. There are all kinds of programs that are offered to them once they enter the facility and upon their departure. We do have various programs, such as family violence, sex offenders, substance abuse, pre-trades, and other key areas where we do have classrooms and we do have a resource room, as well, with education materials. They have the opportunity with a teacher as well. So we do provide as much as we can in this area. There are also aboriginal programs specifically for reintegrating into aboriginal communities. Those are the areas we focus on. Every now and then we do improvements to our programs.
