Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the whole question of policing and public safety is a concern to all of us. We have known for some time that there is a need for more resources to go to the RCMP and other plans, including the Community Constable Program, which is our attempt to try to deal with this issue not only through the RCMP but through our own resources and other initiatives, along with the RCMP help.

There is coordination going on between the RCMP and the different departments in this government, namely the Departments of Justice and MACA. There is going to be a continued look at a plan that the RCMP put forward asking for the type of resources that they are required to do, the type of policing and public safety that is required in the North.

The by-law officer, the by-laws in the communities, that is something that the Department of Justice has to work on with the Department of MACA. I think there is an attempt there through the Community Constable Program to do that. We were just informed on September 21st, this last month, that the federal solicitor general advised that there is additional funding for this year as well as next year. Federal money is going to flow to this Community Constable Program. How we do it, we need suggestions from yourself as well as word from the RCMP and the Department of MACA and the Department of Justice to try to realize the type of resources we have the best we can. Thank you.
