I'll ask my question on the overrepresentation of aboriginal offenders in the correctional system and reference the discriminatory practices in the correctional system as set forth in the correctional investigator's report, because the delivery of aboriginal correctional programs and services is a legitimate subject matter of inquiry and is a specific budgetary matter in the main estimates.
My question, therefore, looking at the main estimates projection for 2006-07, is why has the total contribution in matters related to the delivery of aboriginal correctional services and programs been reduced by some half a million dollars, namely from $1,851,000 in 2005-06 to $1,351,000 in 2006-07, when the problems appear to have been greater than they were before?
