Madam Chair, I don't know if this is the place to bring it up, but there's also got to be an opportunity to wipe off some of these records. Some people are sitting with a minor offence that happened, like, 30 years ago and it's still on their record. There has to be a mechanism within justice to ensure that people have clean records after that many years. You know, people make mistakes. Everybody makes mistakes in life. Not everybody has to go before the justice system. There has to be a mechanism within justice, especially for offenders that are just minor offence and happened like 30 years ago. I know a few people, even within Salt River, that this has happened. And you know, there's no place to go except to go to maybe a lawyer, which they would never do. I'm just wondering if we could see a program that would promote getting rid of criminal records off individuals that are at no risk to the public. Thank you, Madam Chair.
