Mr. Chairman, just one observation, and that is I think most of the trends with regard to crime do not happen during the normal working hours of the people. That is when everybody works, including the R.C.M.P., and I am just wondering why this government, pays for the R.C.M.P. services up here, and does not address what the trends are in those communities, and which crimes are being committed?

If we are in the business of prevention, too, I think one of the preventions is just the fact that the presence of R.C.M.P. in the community does prevent crime from happening, and when you do not have them, or if you have them present only during normal working hours, and not during the evenings, or early mornings, then that is when things do tend to happen.

So, I do not know whether, or not, the R.C.M.P. are basing their operation on normal working hours, or whether they are basing their duties to reflect when crime is most likely to happen. I realize that we could look at statistics to determine that, but I do not know why that is not part of the determining factor on when an R.C.M.P. should be carrying out his duties.
