I think I'm told that that's to align the office security with the acceptable standards of 2018. Thank you.

Yes. I think the point is that we want to make full utilization of the building, and we are not very sure of the numbers that might want to go there strictly for addictions. Perhaps Mr. Goldney could assist further. I think the important thing is: we are contemplating some large capital costs here, but we want to make sure that the building is utilized properly. Mr. Goldney.

Yes. Thank you, Mr. Chair. Although minimum security generally are those that receive shorter sentences, that's quite correct. There certainly would be some, I imagine, that would be minimum security that would receive four months or more. Perhaps not that many, but there would be some. Thank you.

Yes, thank you, Mr. Chair. What we are doing now is finalizing program design. I don't think the current inmates there would necessarily end up there once we have made this transition. I assume that the inmates that would want to take advantage of this program would be drawn from throughout the system, but I will let Mr. Goldney add to that if he wishes. Thank you.

Yes, thank you. It is important to remember that we do have other facilities in Yellowknife and in Fort Smith. Thank you.

Yes. Thank you, Mr. Chair. I understand there are some minor changes within the facility itself that would be necessary to raise its status to the status required to be a model or a program like Guthrie House. Thank you.

Yes. I think all of us who had the opportunity of visiting Guthrie House were impressed by the after-care element in that there were organizations that were assisting and also graduates, if I can put it that way. Of course, initially, we won’t have the support of graduates because, well, there won’t be any graduates until we have our first class through, if I can put it that way.

Accommodation, yes. That is going to be an issue that we have thought about and do have concerns about, particularly those who are returning to some of the smaller communities where housing is a real issue. Perhaps Mr...

Thank you, Mr. Chair. To my left is Mandi Bolstad, director of corporate services. To my right is Martin Goldney, deputy minister. Thank you.

Yes. We may have some differences from that exact model, but generally speaking, it will be the same type of model. Thank you.

I'm not certain as to the exact nature of the training, but we could certainly look into that. As I have mentioned, we have hired somebody in the Inuvik office, and we are starting to deal with the equity leases in that region. Of course, as I have mentioned, there are 245 approximately equity leases to deal with, so there's a large number. Those are private-equity leases. There are similar, as I understand, from the department, leases between departments, but the ones that we are dealing with and we are concerned about are the private-equity leases.

Certainly, there will be training. Each of...
