Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I want to point out, first of all, that our community policing coordinator, Mr. Gunther Lobby, who I had indicated would be in Tsiigehtchic in the next few days, will be in Tuktoyaktuk tomorrow working with the community on the Community Constable Program. Whether there is a formula for having RCMP in the community based on their population, I do not think so. Some of the communities that have or do not have RCMP constables have them because of historical reasons, this is why the RCMP has been there for a long time or have not been there. Some could be there for other reasons such as crime rates, et cetera.
