Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I know I spoke about this yesterday, Mr. Chairman, with regard to the courthouse. I had a chance to take a look at the report that was done. I understand we can do a lot of savings with building a new courthouse in Yellowknife. There are other ways you can spend that money in terms of prevention for the communities and helping out the people. In smaller communities, he's talking about security and the need for more space, where the RCMP, the victim, the assailant, all congregate in the community hall. Basically there is no security in situations like that. Why would the department consider Yellowknife different than the small communities? They should consider the same security and space options as small communities for court appearances. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
