PEARCE (King—Minister for Emergency Services and Correctional Services, Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing) (15:05):</by>  I would also like to thank the member for his question on this matter. I am really proud to be on this side of government, where we are investing extensively in our correctional services. We are building more beds, we are improving our security and we are working in myriad ways to improve on the rehabilitation programs that we are putting through our systems to ensure that our communities end up safer as a result of the work that we are putting in. In terms of the specifics, I am more than happy to take that on notice and get back to the member.</text>
