Thank you, Mr. Chairman. We do have JPs in many communities and there are other places where we do not have JPs or where we could use an additional JP. At the moment we are not in a position to do active recruiting. In most places, we do not have the regional staff who would be there to do that, but where a community wants to have a JP, especially if they have someone who they could recommend, we are quite receptive to having those kinds of recommendations. The appointments are never made without that kind of community support. Certainly, if the community wishes to be proactive and come forward with recommendations, that is normally welcome. It is very important to have JPs from within the community. With the respective community members, it links the community with justice because it is again, someone from the community who can work with the justice committee.
