Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, many years ago I asked whether or not there may be an opportunity to implement a new police force, and I referred on many occasions to Alaska. Alaska has public safety officers, or peace officers. They have an arrangement where there are no R.C.M.P., the local people chose people to do that.
This morning, on the radio, Mr. Speaker, the superintendent of the R.C.M.P. said that they are going to start training people as reserve or R.C.M.P. reserves. They are going to train them to handle little things, where there are no R.C.M.P. and even where there are R.C.M.P. They would train them. I would like to ask the Minister of Justice, under the aboriginal people and justice administration discussion paper done by the Minister of Justice, Kim Campbell, it does say in there that pilot projects will be made with territorial and aboriginal communities to test community based approaches of policing, reserve, crime prevention, adjudication, and dispute resolution corrections and release.
I would like to ask whether or not, that as a result of this report, or discussion paper, that the R.C.M.P. are moving in that direction.
