Just one further comment, not with respect to the funding that is being requested to be approved, I but basically in respect to the amount -- going back to the previous comment of getting police service for 24 hours. I would like to indicate to the Minister that probably one of the suggestions to consider in local policing is for his department to consider individuals to assist the RCMP in regard to addressing concerns of the community after hours, as opposed to the phone calls going into Yellowknife and then being dispatched back to the community. That takes so much time, and when there is a dire emergency, it is most frustrating for people at the community level. I appreciate the fact that the Minister has brought that concern to the RCMP, but I certainly would appreciate if that concern was addressed, taking into account that we do expend some $23 million of our budget for police services. The type of services that we need in an emergency I think is critical. Maybe some creative thinking can be done with respect to type of committees.

I guess the concern I have is not only when emergencies occur, but I would be safe to say that the majority of break and-enters or any type of vandalism done to many government institutions, whether they be schools or whatever, is probably done during those hours when the police are not policing the community. As a government we would probably save a substantial amount of money if we can provide those services to take preventive action. Thank you.
