Thank you, Mr. Chair. I want to ask the Minister and I need to get a sense and a much compelling way as to the fencing that we are going to be spending within the Justice here. It’s quite a considerable amount of money, as our communities have been looking for daycare centres, daycare homes, and other necessary, essentially needed infrastructure in our communities, and we are continuing to spend money in this area. There may be regulations. There actually may be laws that might put us in a liability situation if we don’t do anything; however, I’ve had a bitter pill to swallow just as we were talking about daycare facilities in our small communities, daycare homes, infrastructure for helping the people who want to help themselves and having that type of discussion in the Sahtu. I can name many other worthwhile, essential, critical infrastructure that we need, and we’re going to put some huge dollars into fencing to, I don’t know if it’s to keep them in or to keep them from getting out of our correctional facility. Again, I haven’t had the discussion with the Minister on this, so I’m looking forward to a brief, concise and compelling argument why this should go forward, and I just need to get my head around this as to the exact number of dollars that we’re talking about to do this project here at the North Slave Correctional Centre on the fencing. If I could ask the Minister to persuade me.
