Mr. Chairman, the salary shortfall for the current fiscal year is much more serious than the three satellite detachments. In fact, the overall shortfall has resulted in 15 positions being declared vacant. There is a vacant position at G division, headquarters, and deletion of positions from four other detachments. It is a matter of a total of 15 positions for which there are inadequate funds at the moment and something like a $1.2 million shortfall that we are dealing with in the current fiscal year. That is the dimension of the problem. It is not in the base. The salary moneys are not there to support the full establishment of 225 members and that is where there are presently 15 vacant positions.

Mr. Chairman, shortly after this session is over the Financial Management Board will be meeting to discuss the forthcoming year's budget and I certainly will be raising the issue of RCMP staffing at that session. I guess what I am saying is it will be a matter that I will bring to the attention of the FMB as soon as we can meet following the session. I think I will be able to report back to the Assembly at about what is possible to deal with this problem.

In Rankin Inlet with the population of about 1600, there are five RCMP officers. My riding, Aivilik, has 1400 people, 200 people less than Rankin Inlet. At the moment there is no RCMP officer because he will be in lqaluit for three weeks. Every time he leaves for other duties there is no replacement. The whole riding has one RCMP officer and a lot of times he is not there because he is travelling for other duties. What are the criteria of the government in placing RCMP personnel in communities? It does not seem fair that we have only 200 people less and they have five RCMP and we have one.
