Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I, too, want to recognize Matthew Spence and Tracy St. Denis on their contributions to the North, in their private life, and their career, as well. Mahsi.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I am going to just ask questions directly to the capital side. The O and M is coming up here, but I think I brought this up here last year, as well. On your supply management inventory requirements, if you use the water treatment plant there, in some of the communities, I'm hoping that, if it is being supplied by this company called Cortex (ph), so, if it is in fact in the contribution agreement between the department and the local government encouraging them to deal strictly with similar suppliers and making it a lot easier to interact and supply and support each other...

Thank you. Mr. O'Reilly.

Thanks to the Minister for that information there. It is good to see that these are being offered, and I am hoping that the inmates are taking advantage of these opportunities.

My next question, Mr. Speaker: on the issue of trades or GED, can the Minister explain the success on how many inmates have enlisted in these two categories?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would also like to recognize all the social worker students and Candice Ferdinand, originally from Deline. Mahsi.

None. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

I recall here last year that there were some collaboration efforts on designing a joint program between A New Day and the centre. Can the Minister explain if that is under way?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Further to my questions on inmate programming and services here, my first question is: does the North Slave Correctional Centre have a main core rehabilitation program designed with submodules? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker: learning and healing while in custody. Mr. Speaker, last year, we heard an outcry from the inmates at the North Slave Correctional Centre.

Mr. Speaker, on the principles of rehabilitation and reintegration through programs and services, both are essential to building a healthy society and avoid family violence.

Mr. Speaker, the Minister of Justice, during last June's session, stated the correctional centre offers a wide range of in-house programming, right from curricular activities to treatment healing programs.

Mr. Speaker, these services and programs are...

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I support this appropriation, knowing that they are putting a budget there with the three categories of work, exercise, so I'm satisfied with the numbers, and basically just stating my support. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
