Thank you, Mr. Chairman. We have a motion on our police services. As the Minister said earlier, there have been extensive negotiations taking place with the contract that we have come to have with the R.C.M.P. However, the committee believes that programs should all undergo independent program evaluations to ensure efficiency, effectiveness, and economy. The police services, which are funded 70 percent by the territorial government, in our opinion, is no exception.
In addition, the Minister indicated that he will, no doubt, have to return to the Assembly before the end of the fiscal year to request supplemental funding for a shortfall. We must ensure that the police services are delivered in the best way possible, and accountability upheld.
