I don't know who could answer that question. I thought you could do it. The prison farm has to buy a lot of materials. I imagine you buy a lot in the community surrounding the prison, be it fertilizer or mechanical parts to repair vehicles that break down. What would the economic impact be in the Kingston region if it were decided to close down the prison farm tomorrow? Would it have a major impact?
