Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I’d like to thank the Minister of Justice for his statement today on the Corrections Northern Recruit Training Program and I’m happy to see this happening in Hay River for the next intake.
With the new justice bill in Ottawa, Bill C-10, that will increase the number of mandatory sentences, incarcerations. I could have sworn on the radio this morning I heard the Justice Minister say that if this came about, they would have to build an addition on to the North Slave Correctional Centre. We’re talking here about disparity in the distribution of wealth. I want to talk about the disparity in the distribution of government resources, jobs and programs.
I’d like to ask the Minister of Justice, is there a plan at this time anywhere on this government’s books to put an addition on to the North Slave Correctional Centre. Thank you.
