Thank you, Mr. Speaker. It is true that we have, effectively, a centralized dispatch set up at the RCMP, and I think Members can imagine that, in some of our smaller detachments, it won't be possible for somebody to answer the phone at all times. We want to make sure that when there is a call through to the RCMP, if there isn't a local answer, that it bounces to centralized dispatch, so that they can then turn around and radio the closest officer possible, and make sure there's a timely response. Now, if there are situations where there isn't an answer, that is very concerning for me, and certainly something that I will raise with the RCMP. I think we can all recognize that it won't be possible, at all times, to have a local answer. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
