Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I know there's a desire by some to shut down all of the correctional facilities outside of Yellowknife, but the fact is is that the program is existing in the South Mackenzie Correctional Centre right now. To be the North Slave centre is not -- it's a higher security facility. It is not designed in a way that would be conducive to running that program. Given the size of the facility, we could shut everything down outside of Yellowknife and centralize it. And attempt to run the program out of there. But that does not -- it has not been determined to be the best approach at this time. Thank you.
