I'm pleased to say that we're in all five of the regional women's facilities. The shops are extremely small. Largely what we have in there are textiles. The women are making everything from bedding to parts of uniforms for different agencies, such as the coast guard, etc., and inmate clothing.
I've been in the job for about a year and one of the priorities that I take very seriously is to offer more opportunities for women. I was very pleased to be at a conference last week in Edmonton and talking about aboriginal women offenders with people from the private sector and NGOs. We talked about what opportunities there actually were in the labour market and what it was that we felt we could offer. So we are pursuing alternative opportunities.
Currently, in terms of vocational, we have offered non-traditional vocational opportunities, everything from forklifting to flagging. Some of the women have taken it up. We have also offered opportunities in construction. When we've done builds with Habitat for Humanity, for example, in the Ontario region, we actually used two women from the Grand Valley Institution.
There are small changes, but we obviously would like to make bigger changes and we'll be working hard to do that in the future.
