Thank you, Mr. Chairman. To the best of my recollection, there has been no substantial increase in the funding for police services in about the last ten years, I believe. I would say we are long overdue to adjust the level of service we have in the contract, simply as a result of growth over the last ten years in our population.
I look forward to hearing from the Minister the results of the audit that the RCMP is taking and the government's response. The deputy said this would likely take place within the next three months. Will we likely have enough information for the Minister to make a statement about where he sees us heading with the police services agreement in the June session?
