Thank you, Mr. Chair. The facilities that are based in Fort Smith, certainly the one that is for male individuals, is often one that receives individuals who have other, higher needs. For example, often with mental health challenges, which wouldn't necessarily be appropriate for the therapeutic model. The North Slave facility is the facility that generally houses, first of all, more remand individuals, but also often higher risk individuals. There may be a vision, and the time may come where other facilities can transition or add to their programming, but for the moment, what's happening in Hay River is the first of its kind in the North. We are going to start with one, and the other facilities continue to have to maintain needs and respond to needs for the other classifications of risk that still come into contact with the Justice System. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
