Thank you. The issue of the RCMP aircraft was initially agreed to be put to arbitration since we couldn't come to an agreement with the RCMP or the federal government on replacing what we thought was the loss of an aircraft, through the fault of someone else other than ourselves. So we haven't been able to resolve it, but we have been pushing it. I know the RCMP feel very strongly about it, and I have gone to bat for them in that regard as I have for judges and other people who feel they need good strong representation. I am convinced of it. I just want to make sure the responsible party coughs up the money to make sure this aircraft is replaced. We think we should be able to resolve it in the next while.
With regard to the other comments, I just want to raise that the concerns of the level of policing in a place like Yellowknife, register very clearly with me. I have gone to the extent of telling the RCMP that if they feel they are severely under-resourced and it is placing them in an impossible situation, they should tell me that categorically so I can do something about it. If it is a manageable situation at this time, then I would expect them to carry on the best they can. That is the way I have left it. In the meantime, we are going to do a review to make sure the resources we have are distributed in the best way possible. That will help us establish whether this legislature and this government are providing adequate resources for that.
Lastly, I want to thank the Member for his good comments about the staff, including the new staff, the acting deputy minister, Mr. Garson; and, Mr. Bickert, who has served as deputy minister for many years, who has done tremendous work as the chief legal advisor to the government and as the deputy minister as well, for managing the Department of Justice on behalf of this government. I will leave it at that. Thank you.
