Mr. Speaker, it is an acknowledgement by myself and this government that we have concerns about the ability of the RCMP to carry out their work adequately, given the kinds of resources we've allocated to them. The RCMP has recognized that as well because they have undertaken a study which the Member referred to, which shows a positive approach to dealing with the problem. They're doing a study on what is the best approach for the RCMP to provide policing under current and future circumstances, such as the depletion of the pot of money which funds policing and also how division is going to affect the RCMP's ability to meet their policing duties.

We will do whatever we can to address the needs, as called on by the Members from Yellowknife as well as the Members from every other constituency across the Northwest Territories. Whatever suggestions are made, we will be very happy to try to follow up on them. Thank you.
