Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, this whole question of communities that pay their by-law officers through MACA funding and the Department of Justice would pay for the training of them, their travel and training, uniforms and the community continues to pay for their salaries on an ongoing basis. That is what the nature of this joint arrangement is. I would have to work with the RCMP. The RCMP is an independent police force that we contract to do policing in the Northwest Territories. We have to consult with them and, like you said in the earlier days of the sessions, we have a new commanding officer that I have yet to sit down and have meetings with to cover all these bases. I will raise this as one of the issues for discussion. Thank you.
