Thank you, Mr. Chair. The Corrections Act allows for temporary absences to be provided to inmates to assist with their reintegration into communities and prepare for their release. So the temporary absence provisions under the Corrections Act are there seeing that there would be an ability to work with communities and employers in communities to employ or otherwise support an inmate through counselling, through volunteer activities and those kinds of activities outside of a correctional facility. If an inmate happens to be working while on a temporary absence, then obviously they're covered by the Workers Compensation provisions that are available to all workers in the Territories. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
