We are very proud of the programs that we have with respect to the on-the-land programs that the Member is referring to. One of the programs is also in the Sahtu region and it has been very, very successful. We want to continue with that. Not only that but within corrections across the Northwest Territories we do have those programs. I agree that we need to strengthen that. We need to build on it. That’s one of our goals, is to rehabilitate those individuals. Obviously, we don’t want to see them back in the system, but it’s out of our control. That’s our goal as the Department of Justice and I will commit to working on that.
