Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, what I can say is that the chief superintendent of the RCMP informed me some 10 days ago that it was their intention, due to very difficult financial shortages in the personnel area, to look at cutting the Paulatuk detachment. My response at that time was that at this time I am not prepared to support such a cut until the Member and the community has been consulted and options such as community policing and ensuring there is some kind of law enforcement presence is answered. That would be my response, and I am aware that this has been reported in the media also. Thank you.
