Thank you, Mr. Speaker. First, a police act would provide the fundamental legislative responsibility for this government to ensure that adequate and effective policing is maintained for its citizens.
Mr. Speaker, I believe the time for such solutions has arrived and I would like to strongly encourage the Minister of Justice to move forward as quickly as possible in the development of a police act for the Northwest Territories. Our law-abiding citizens deserve adequate and effective protection and we must strive to ensure that they receive no less. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
