Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I'm glad my colleague from the Kitikmeot, the honourable Mr. Ng, raised the issue of bootlegging, which is a concern especially in dry communities. I live in Pelly Bay which has been dry for many, many years. Time and time again the elders, the hamlet council and concerned residents of the community have brought up the issue of having strict enforcement of liquor prohibition. People bring in liquor from non-dry communities. Is there any way that the enforcement agency can help the community?

We have met with Justice people and enforcement agencies such as the RCMP time and time again but we are told that, because of the Canadian Individual Charter of Rights, there is no way an enforcement officer could check incoming aircraft to see if people are bringing liquor into the community. Any dry community is only a technically dry community. There is no such thing as a community being totally dry. Part of the problem, Mr. Chairman, happens to be that there is need for more strict enforcement in the community. How we propose to deal with that matter, I don't know. I hope there will come a day when we will be able to see a dry community be a dry community. Thank you.
