Thank you, Mr. Menicoche. Mr. Dent.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I would like to thank the Minister for that. I wouldn’t want to think that it was somewhere else. The Minister knows where I am thinking of too. I think that is probably about all I had, Madam Chair. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. If the Minister is mentioning the fact that there’s counselling that’s taking place now between staff and inmates and they’re trying to find out problems and why the inmates are in prison, maybe the Minister could give us some type of idea of what the numbers are. North Slave Correctional Centre, for example, of inmates that are in there because of addictions problems. If this work is being done, the Minister should know that. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Dent. Mr. Menicoche.

Thank you, Mr. Menicoche. Mr. Dent.

Thank you, Madam Chair. When I said that I know the Premier is familiar with the community of Ndilo too, I am not familiar where there is an area you could actually put a subdivision because it is the end of Latham Island. I am wondering if the Minister can provide the information on where that new subdivision is going to go in Ndilo, if in fact it is Ndilo. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my questions today are for the Minister of Justice and I’d like to ask the Minister of Justice, going back to the petition I talked about in my Member’s statement, the fact that 98 inmates at North Slave Correctional Centre have signed a petition calling for an addiction treatment centre to be re-opened here in the Northwest Territories. I’m wondering what the Minister can tell me about how his department, the Department of Justice, works with Health and Social Services in trying to find out why inmates are in the correctional system and how we might be...

Thank you. Next I recognize Mr. Menicoche.

Thank you, Mr. Dent. Mr. Zoe.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I have a couple more questions that I would like to ask. The first one relates to some funding for the community of Ndilo, $29,000 to plan and design a new subdivision. I have been down in Ndilo many times, and I am just wondering where exactly in the community of Ndilo are they planning on putting a subdivision. Thank you, Madam Chair.
