Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I have a concern that the territorial government is footing a very large part of the expenses and the RCMP, similar to NCPC, is one of the most money-wasting things that the government spends money on. For example, anything that may be required, even if it is not necessary -- it used to be even more, but I think they have cut down quite a bit, that they must have skidoos and all-terrain vehicles, suburbans and canoes; they have to have everything, including their own garage and their own warehouse for personnel, even in the small communities. They are still operating under traditional government, colonial administration, for the development of the 1960s northern vision.
Will the Minister of Justice renegotiate a more affordable policing program in the North? Because a lot of the expenses are fringe benefits to make the officer as comfortable as possible, the most luxurious living style that is possible in the small communities. I think everyone knows that they have all the services required to make life as comfortable as possible. Yet, as was complained to us before, there are no evening services. Are there any plans by the Minister or the government to have a better use of that scarce dollar by eliminating some of these fringe benefits?
