Thank you, committee. On page 306, legal aid services, active positions, information item. Any questions?

Thank you, Minister Ramsay. General comments.

Thank you, committee. Direct your attention to page 289 in your main estimates. We’re going to defer this page until consideration of the activity detail. That said, I’d like to turn your attention to page 290, revenue summary, information item. Any questions?

Page 318, work performed on behalf of others – it’s actually pages 318 and 319 together – information item. Any questions?

Thank you, Minister Ramsay. Committee, we’re on page 273, office of the regulator of oil and gas operations, operations expenditure summary, $2.185 million. Does committee agree?

I appreciate the Minister’s offering on that. We know that from past use of this tool, which is an on-the-land tool, that the costs per inmate were quite substantive and it was quite variant in terms of as high as $1,500 per inmate to as low as about $500 per inmate per day. We know that the average costs for an inmate incarcerated in our corrections facilities is around $378 per inmate per day..

Does the Minister foresee that we’re going to be looking at a fairly large substantial cost should inmates start choosing this as an option and is his department prepared for that? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Yakeleya. Minister Ramsay.

Thank you, Minister Ramsay. Continuing on with general comments, I have Mr. Blake.
