Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I may have alluded to this question previously in this session, but I want to get a little more direct with it here today to the Minister of Justice. Now, I am not a huge proponent of smoking. As a matter of fact, anybody who knows me, I am not a supporter of smoking in any way. I wish everybody could kick the habit and not smoke, but people do smoke. And we, as a government, in most government workplaces make provision for those people, employees who smoke, to go someplace on the grounds a fair distance away from the building. Even here at the Legislative Assembly you can walk out to the end of the green mile there and you can smoke at the end of the...The green line, I mean.

...and you can smoke on the property. But there’s a new rule coming in place for correctional facilities in the Northwest Territories starting on April 1st , and
that is that neither inmates nor staff can smoke anywhere on the government property. They cannot bring tobacco on the premises in any way, shape or form. Mr. Speaker, I have to ask the Minister of Justice, is this somehow treating the staff of the correctional facilities in some form of discriminatory fashion? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
