Sorry, Mr. Chair. Yes, I was entirely focused on the most recent evaluation that was done, of the Integrated Case Management; that's the social return on investment and that is the one that has not been shared. As I have said, my target date is to have it, while it's not quite a commitment, it's at least a target, to have it by the end of the current sitting of the Assembly. The older one, from roughly 2017, Mr. Chair, ought to have been previously shared, and if it wasn't a tabled document, then I will confirm and we can make sure that it is. I will look into whether there was any restriction...

Thank you, Mr. Chair. There are currently within the North Slave Correctional Facility eight individuals, four sentenced and four on remand, who are classified as being Nunavut prisoners. As far as it being a choice necessarily, Mr. Chair, it involves classification that is done by correctional officials, so just to be clear, it's not necessarily a choice either of the Department of Justice or of the individuals, but it depends on a variety of factors. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Yes, I'm taking the Members' points, both of them, that, indeed, we will need to work with my colleague in the Department of Lands to ensure this resourcing, while, again, we want to demonstrate ourselves to be proactive and not responsive to the program so that we're not simply coming back later and asking for more funding to do things that we should have predicted better, but I hear the Members and I hear the committee that we will have to work with Lands and with my colleague to ensure that the resources we are seeking here are, in fact, what we need to achieve the...

Madam Speaker, yes. Thank you. It's comparable insofar as the government does not pay property taxes the same way a private resident or private industry would. It is a way of compensating municipalities for the use of those properties. Thank you, Madam Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I would love to see integrated case management rolled out everywhere. I am a tremendous supporter of this program. Realistically, it is not going to be within the budget that there currently is to establish new offices with these kinds of services in different communities. It's not just a question of the individual human being, but of a support team. Within the integrated case management office and services, there is a certain level of capacity and knowledge that's been built up within the team that exists here. Again, it wouldn't be quite so simple as to take a person...

Mr. Chair, the jurisdiction of OROGO covers only land. I'm sorry. I'm going to stumble over this a little bit. I don't have it correctly. Sorry, no. It does not cover the federal areas or the Inuvialuit Settlement Region, and it only covers the land. It's not necessarily covering all of the regions that the Member from Nunakput would necessarily be referencing. It also doesn't cover one of the carve-out regions right in the area of Norman Wells, so it doesn't cover all of the Northwest Territories. That said, I am conscious of what the Member is saying, that, even without covering some of the...

Mr. Chair, I will commit to looking back with our partner, the John Howard Society, who is delivering the program to confirm exactly what efforts they might be making. I can also confirm for the Member that there is a new group now at the North Slave Correctional Facility that is offering this program, and so, to that extent, it would be offered within the program and be part of the package of available programming for individuals who are completing their sentence at that facility. Thank you.

Mr. Chair, I am assured that we can do that. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. This was an opportunity or an attempt by the Department of Justice, rather than to be reactive to something happening within the government, to be proactive and to be prepared so that, when the roll-out of this program came through Lands, the Department of Justice would be there to support them. I take the Member's point, though, and I'll ensure that I work with my colleague from Lands so that resources are adequate to the program as it evolves. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

The training and the guidelines, resource materials for all the different departments, that is either has been or is being developed right now, with some training due to begin, I understand, in April. As to the specific training schedule, of which departments, I don't know that offhand. I will commit to providing that to the Member as I can identify it. I can say that, certainly, reducing the fees has been a priority, and ensuring that movement to provide better access to information, there is one area of documents that will be identified, so they can be available without having to go through...
