Thank you, Mr. Chair. As we implement and move forward with this, I certainly would be prepared to communicate with a town council, send them a letter as to our plans and targets. Guthrie House is not a minimum-security facility. It simply isn't. As I say - this will not exactly be like Guthrie House, but one of the things that impressed me there, and I'm doubtless it would have impressed others, is that those that end up at Guthrie House have to be highly motivated before they're accepted into the program, and hopefully that would be the same here. So we would have people, admittedly inmates, perhaps some of them as a higher security level, that would be motivated to make changes in their lives. That seems to be an excellent idea to me. I mean, we always talk about how much recidivism, and so on, we have in the system, and this is a way to reduce that on a model that has proven to be successful in British Columbia. Thank you.
