Thank you, Mr. Chair. There is a brand now complex in Fort Smith, which is obviously there, but it's not the therapeutic community. The therapeutic community is the one that is actually in Hay River. The idea there is that there are four phases that are going to be provided to individuals who come into contact with the system. From the very earliest integration into the facility, rather than being in a position where they are sort of told how to manage their lives and controlled, they are given increasing ability and opportunities to take responsibility for their own actions, and as they do that they move through the different phases and get increasing access to greater freedoms and greater opportunities as they go through the four phases. It's meant to be something where they're given that opportunity to truly take responsibility for their actions, for their lives, and for their own process as they go through a correctional programming, rather than be told by facility wardens or case officers what they have to do and how to do it. It's turning the model in terms of taking responsibility and integrating that process throughout the person's stay at the facility. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
