Thank you, Mr. Chair. I'd like to thank the Minister for clarifying that. Just in terms of long-term, I just wanted to come to an understanding: what is the plan of the Department of Justice in terms of working to ensure that this probation officer working on the K’atlodeeche Reserve in the future plans in terms of long-term; whether indeed a fully staffed person could be resident from the reserve and for the reserve? Thank you.

I think the only thing we can say at this point that it will be a full-time position. Thank you.

Yes. So, I mean, the reply that the Minister provided and given us a sure indication that the project in terms of the lease space perhaps was six metres by six metres or so for a probation officer, and that is supposed to be completed by 2017, is that also indicating that the position will run until 2017 or 2018? Thank you.

This is just the capital cost for the space. The space is 60 metres squared, which could be 10 metres by six metres, so it's a little bigger than the Member was contemplating. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I think the question I was asking is: I understand the lease is going to be completed in terms of making it more secure for the probation officer to work on the reserve with perhaps a client, and it's going to be completed by 2017-2018. Now the position of the probation officer, I'm really presupposing that person would be working out of the Hay River district office and would that position run till 2017 or 2018? If not, is there a long-term plan in terms of working out of the K’atlodeeche Reserve in terms of the probation officer? Mahsi.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Currently, the K’atlodeeche is serviced by a probation officer out of Hay River. That position, or the incumbent in that position, will be retiring in 2018, at which time the position will be filled as a full-time position in the community. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I'm going to go back to the Territorial Female Correction Centre. Can the department share with us what the current incarceration numbers are for the current women's detention centre in Fort Smith? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I understand the capacity to be 21, and the current numbers are 14. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Could maybe the department share a little bit more information in terms of giving us their best estimation, if they don't have actuals, on what the five-year average would be for incarceration in the current women's correctional facility? Thank you.
