I appreciate the Minister’s platitudes about trying to be heroic on a territorial level. I am sorry. Can someone give him a flag of the territory? On one hand he is interested in spending money in a prudent way, but there is no way of saying that we are. Why would we keep a facility open for one inmate? That is kind of the point, which is it doesn’t make an economic sense. There has to be a breakeven point that makes sense, and let politicians make the political decisions as to where it is. Ultimately the issue
comes down to if the politicians don’t have the facts it is difficult for us to make these types of decisions.
That is kind of why I am asking what is stopping the department. If the Minister just doesn’t want to do one because he just doesn’t want to do one, maybe he is afraid of the fact that we would see quite a disparity of numbers. Perhaps that is the issue, but that is why I am asking, let’s do the numbers. Why be afraid of the information? Thank you, Madam Chair.
