Thank you, Madam Chair. Yes, this is a new mandate commitment for the Department of Justice. And for us, it speaks of prolific offenders, really what we're talking about in the Northwest Territories is repeat and violent offenders, largely repeat offenders. We see the same people coming through. So we are working with our RCMP partners to help identify these frequent repeat offenders in the Northwest Territories, which is our issue, trying to support them better once they come out of the correction system if they are in one of our facilities, connecting them with supports, probation officers, integrated case management, you know, housing, that sort of thing. So just trying to identify these repeat offenders, support them, have them on our radar, and try to reintegrate them as best we can. As of now, we don't have a really good way of tracking these folks so that's the idea with this mandate item. Thank you, Madam Chair.
