Madam Speaker, that was a long, philosophical, interesting answer, but I think it answered more than the actual question I had asked. I think people are very supportive of the initiatives of the Minister in smaller communities. There is no argument with that. Smaller communities deserve to have basic policing services.

Our concern, though, is with the Minister's responsibilities for the safety of everybody. Here in Yellowknife, the RCMP also look after the safety of Ndilo, Dettah and the largest aboriginal community in the Northwest Territories who live here in Yellowknife. It is my very strong feeling that the RCMP in Yellowknife, right now, are doing a great job, but they are really over-extended. We're at the breaking point here, as far as providing a safe environment for the people who live in Yellowknife. I wonder what specific steps the Minister is prepared to support to deal with this issue, before we have a very serious problem.
