Mr. Chairman, this project is a pilot project. It is designed to assess the feasibility and effectiveness of developing and implementing a force of community constables of aboriginal residence in remote communities in the Northwest Territories. Those people, we would hope, would assist the police in the provision of policing services in cases of emergency or because there is additional workload or some situation that warrants their attendance.
The Department of Justice will be reviewing these two pilot projects in the two communities to assess their effectiveness, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, the Minister of Justice is quite high on this particular program. He believes it is going to work, but we will wait until we've had it assessed to see what, if any, changes need to be made or if there needs to be adjustments, and where we can expand it to next, Mr. Chairman. Thank you.
