Thank you. So I think I might have figured out what the Member was looking for.

So the Department of Justice has a budget and the activities within the Department of Justice have a budget. And there is there was a budget for OROGO last year, and that budget was reduced this year. That difference of the reduction stayed within the Department of Justice. And so I'm not sure if that's what the Member was looking for, but that's where the money went, and it was used to fund other items in the Department of Justice. Thank you.

Thank you. And in fairness, most of this $44 million is for career development and training in one way or another. But for that specific item, I can ask Mr. Saturnino to chime in. Thank you.

Thank you. Since the last update I gave the House, the number has remained relatively stagnant. The last number I saw last week was somewhere around 75 inmates in the entire system. I suspect it's somewhere close to that. It's between 75 and 80 today. We did you know, the idea of the discussion around is this a trend; is this something that we can expect to see for years to come or will we see numbers go back up, is something that we are looking into. It wasn't that long ago when all the correctional facilities were full busting at the seams and now we have the exact opposite issue.

So no...

Thank you, Madam Chair. No, I believe they're located in the Northwest Territories. That unit unfortunately, it does what it sounds like it does. There's a growing issue with child exploitation on the internet, the type of exploitation that can lead to human trafficking. And so this unit works focuses on the Northwest Territories and works with RCMP across Canada. And they could be working with law enforcement around the world actually, to address some of the these issues. Thank you.

Thank you. I don't believe so. Perhaps Mr. Saturnino can provide some of the break down on the numbers. Thank you.

Thank you. I'd like to ask Mr. Bancroft to answer. Thank you.

Thank you. I don't know if I can confirm or deny what is in confidential FMB materials. Thank you.

Thank you. And so these are the Member's correct, these are communitydriven decisions and it's, you know, communitydriven application process. So really, she's touching on, you know, something that is very difficult for us to get at through a program like this. That's why, you know, even with the women in trades subsidy for the the Trades and Occupational Wage Subsidy, increasing it for employers who employ women in trades, that was an area where we had money and we thought we can put it towards this. But even that doesn't get at the really the root cause. So I don't really have a good...

Thank you. Yes, that's my goal. Thank you.

Thank you. I believe that's going to the Housing Corp but Mr. Bancroft can provide some detail. Thank you.
