Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I would like to ask the Minister of Justice a question regarding the Community Constable Program. Mr. Speaker, for many, many years now we have heard complaints from the communities who have had to deal with public mischief, public damage, juvenile delinquency. With the recent community development that has happened, there has been an escalation of criminal activity in our communities.

I, as the MLA for the Deh Cho, three of the four communities that I represent have no RCMP. The one community that does have an RCMP presence are saying that they are overworked.

I am aware that there is funding from Justice, from MACA, from the RCMP themselves, the Solicitor General of Canada, for training and for uniforms and the community is responsible to pick up the wages, benefits and the insurance. That comes to a very healthy sum. I am estimating around $50,000 for the community portion.

I would like to ask the Minister if there is any consideration for funding to cover wages for the communities that are requesting this program? Thank you.
