Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The one educational program that the RCMP have is specifically aimed at drugs: the Drug Awareness Reduction Program. That isn't offered in all communities across the Northwest Territories, because of the level of resources. But what RCMP do is try and put a human face on policing by making sure that they are in the schools, that people feel comfortable interacting with the RCMP. They try and make sure that people understand that it's part of their responsibility to report to RCMP when they see problems in the community, but that's also something that's carried on in the school curriculum. It's not just the RCMP, it's also part of the school curriculum. The requirement to be part and parcel of your community is to be a good citizen. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
