Mr. Speaker, the Members of this Legislature, if they wish, can give direction to this government to do whatever it is that they want it to do. That seems to be a political fact these days. Let me just say, I am prepared to look at it, but the fact is, other jurisdictions across this country have looked at setting up their own police forces, auxiliary forces, and it is understood right across Canada that everybody has come to the same conclusion. Dollar for dollar, you cannot buy a police force that is as efficient, and as well run as the R.C.M.P. That is a lesson well learned across jurisdictions in the country, as I understand it.

That does not mean that here in the north we could not do a better job, so I would be prepared to look at it, and advise the Member on what the initial assessment of that would be. Thank you.
