Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I am aware of the situation. The RCMP are currently doing a minimum standards review of their detachments throughout the Northwest Territories to see whether or not the safety of their members, in single member and dual member detachments, may be compromised by the fact that they may be under staffed. We do not have the final results of that review. But I would to advise the honourable Member and all Members of this House that the allocation of police members, of RCMP members to communities is strictly an operational priority of the RCMP and within their mandate because of the fact that they have to take into consideration their operational requirements, particularly as it pertains to safety. So I will further check into the matter on the status of what the policing of review is and get back to the Member. Thank you.
