Mr. Speaker, I have recently informed the Solicitor General for Canada, who is responsible for the RCMP federally, that in my view the requirement for the RCMP in connection with the Royal Oak labour situation is a requirement which flows from federal statutory responsibilities, and that, from the point of view of the Government of the Northwest Territories, there is no emergency existing in an area of territorial responsibility. I have, therefore informed the Solicitor General that it will be up to the federal government to determine whether RCMP emergency policing services continue to be required because of that situation and because of the federal jurisdiction. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
