Mr. Chair, after a careful evaluation of the young offenders' facility, we had found that the numbers had been falling over the years, mainly as a result of the change in the Act in approximately 2003. So we've been looking at this for some time and have noticed a steady decline in the numbers; there didn't seem to be any jump. Certainly we are committed to keeping the facility here in Yellowknife. The whole facility, in the sense of that facility and the adult facility are being re-profiled as far as employment within the facility, but the young offenders' facility will remain with dedicated staff. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
