I don't have a chart or something along those lines, but common sense tells me that it's not necessarily the length of the sentence that determines which designation you would fall into. It's probably the type of offence, the record, are likely a major part in deciding which category incoming inmates fall into. Thank you.

Yes, certainly, as the security enhancements take place, we could house inmates that are higher security. Thank you.

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.

Those are issues that certainly will have to be determined. Once we find out how many of the cabins are actually rights-based, we will be dealing with those additional issues, also. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

As I mentioned earlier, there are a great number of cabins and camps out there, rights-based ones, that would be ones that are associated with an Aboriginal right to have the cabin or camp, so that's what we're looking into at this time. We really don't know how many there are out there. That's why we're engaging with the Aboriginal groups throughout the Northwest Territories.

Yes. The five systems that we currently have do have support challenges, and this system will address this risk by providing a common platform that will support several territorial lands surface, Commissioner's lands surface, oil and gas subsurface, the Mining Recorder's Office subsurface, and the Forest Management Division's surface. Hopefully, this will be at a lower capital cost, addressing issues of cost, and will be a more efficient and less costly system.

Also, I understand that it's a mandate item that we will improve collaboration for easier access to the government programs and...

Thank you, Mr. Chair. This information system project is a collaborative effort between several departments, including Lands, ITI, ENR, and Finance, and the enterprise licensing and permitting system will use common components to enable them to implement business processes.

Perhaps, with respect to the other portion of the question, I could turn it over to Ms. Hilderman. Thank you.

Mr. Speaker, I give notice that, on Monday, October 29, 2018, I will move that Bill 29, An Act to Amend the Access to Information and Protection of Privacy Act, be read for the first time. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

We are dealing with this exact issue in our consultation with Indigenous groups throughout the Northwest Territories. Some of the conditions that we might see as important are Indigenous ownership located within an area where persons of that heritage have established or asserted rights, an assertion by the owner of the cabin or camp of his Aboriginal rights. So those are some of the basic things we're going to be looking at as we engage with Aboriginal groups throughout the Northwest Territories.
