I think this is recognition, as Mr. Ootes said earlier, that we need to play a role along with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and along with the citizens of Yellowknife who are concerned about what may appear to be some growing imbalance that alludes to alcohol. I think my understanding again is that there was only one actual court case last year with respect to the 450 inspections that were done. But I do recognize that we need to work closely with the law authorities on this issue. I have been speaking with my deputy minister on this issue and discussions will be on the way shortly to see if there is some way we can complement what is going on in respect to what the RCMP and others were doing.
