Madam Speaker, I answer the question of the hon. member with a great deal of pleasure. If you institute a system in which there is a form of punishment as I am suggesting you reduce the number of inmates. They do not want to go back. You can accomplish in 30 days in the digger what six months or a year would not accomplish in today's modern facility where they are given all the amenities of life. Make it undesirable for them to do 30 days time and they will not be back. You will reduce the number of people in that facility and thereby exercise fiscal restraint. There will be less need for a facility in the long run. Give it a try. I am quite sincere in the proposal.
