I’d like to thank the Premier for indicating just the progress in terms of the department that’s mandated to oversee the correctional facilities. Often, too, because of our

government and our zest to try and help each other, we sometimes take an institutional approach as contrasted with going out on the land as a healing element.

I would like to ask about on-the-land programs. The 2013 Minister’s Forum on Addictions called for more on-the-land treatment options. What it heard is that on-the-land programs are very effective as long as the approach isn’t overly bureaucratic.

Why isn’t this type of programming being used in all of our correctional facilities?
