Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, one of the primary concerns that residents here in the Northwest Territories have are the amount of drugs that are coming illegally into our territory, mostly by the road system. I have a great deal of concern when you weigh a three-person traffic unit as opposed to getting some more money to combat the drugs that are coming into this territory. For the territory not to have any input on how that money is spent, I don't believe that should happen. I think we should tell the RCMP that we want some more resources put into combating drugs in our territory, not a three-person traffic section. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The question I have for the Minister is, maybe he can shed some light on why we are getting a three-person traffic unit as opposed to more money to go in to fight drugs. Thank you.
