MALINAUSKAS (Minister for Police, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Road Safety) (14:30):</by>  I thank the honourable member for his questions. Naturally, I have been in regular conversation with the Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse on a range of different issues. More recently, that has been associated with our work on the ice task force. I have been the chair of the ice task force, with the Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse being the co-cabinet minister working on that particular exercise.</text>
        <text id="20170511ed5cdf30fcf94cf990000061">There are also a range of interactions that occur between myself and the Minister for Mental Health. We have regularly had conversations on matters pertaining to those people who find themselves in custody who may or may not have a mental health issue and also the interchange of prisoners who stay within correctional services facilities and who may be subject to a mental health issue and also issues around James Nash House.</text>
        <text id="20170511ed5cdf30fcf94cf990000062">Regarding the specific questions that the honourable member refers to, I will take on notice questions that pertain to specific references to the specific report the honourable member refers to.</text>
