Madam Speaker, the pilot projects were initiated and carried out in large part by the RCMP. When the suggestions came as to the two communities they had targeted, I had indicated to them at that time, that surely somebody will be questioning the selection of Good Hope as one of the pilot communities because it is my home town and it is also in my constituency. I asked them if they would reconsider it, they took it and came back and said those were the communities they had selected because of the interest of the individual members in those detachments, the kind of informal response that they got from the communities after discussing it. It's the RCMP that selected or picked the two communities as the Member says, and it was the RCMP as well, with the community leaders in those two communities, that selected the six people to go to Regina. Thank you.
