Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I do not have the particular detail with me, but I am under some knowledge of the fact that we do have central court systems, or a courthouse in Inuvik, Hay River, and Yellowknife, so that would be where the sheriffs would be most needed.
I am also not clear whether the sheriffs do travel with the court parties, but I can get back to the Member on that. Thank you.

The reason I ask the question is, using the argument by the Minister that they have to have two officers in Yellowknife, but say you are one officer in the Inuvik region, you may have to serve the Inuvik region, the Mackenzie Delta, Inuvik and also the Sahtu. Also, in regard to Hay River, you are serving the south, the Fort Smith region, the Deh Cho. Who serves those other regions and exactly how big an area do these officers have to serve in regard to their area of responsibility and geographics? How big of an area do they cover and exactly how many communities do each one of these people cover?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I am not certain again as to the logistics of the court party, so I will have to get back to the Member with the particular details. Thank you.

The reason I asked the question is because the Minister of Finance stated they need two officers because of the amount of work in Yellowknife. I think that comes back to the concerns that we have in the small communities. It seems like all of the emphasis on government developing an increase in the bureaucracy seem to be at the regional level, with no priority given to allow for improved services at the regional or community level, and strictly in Yellowknife, Hay River, and Inuvik.
I would like to ask the Minister of Finance, from the statement that you made, it seems like it is a question of numbers than really a question of service.

Mr. Chairman, as I said before, this is based on workload. In Yellowknife, there are two territorial judges who sit during the day. During the evenings, there are justices of the peace who sit. The requirement is for two officers. It is simply based on workload by the courts. Thank you.
