Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Certainly I've already committed in the House that I will be working on that sort of capital plan, that sort of business plan that the Member has talked about. I've already started a discussion with the deputy and directed him to start some work at moving this forward. The Member makes a good point. I talked earlier about Tsiigehtchic and it being on the highway, so that would be a good opportunity for us to perhaps examine whether or not there wasn't some justification for making sure that not only was there some RCMP there, but if there isn't, a lot of business for them may be they could spend some time on the highways. Highway patrol, intersect some of the people coming up with drugs.

The Member talked about sovereignty. Clearly, I know, Mr. Chairman, this will be an area that's dear to your heart. I think Sachs Harbour is a good example of where we need to make sure that we're flying the flag.

I think there are a number of cases where we can make that sort of argument, as well as the one that the Member talks about in terms of community development, community safety. I am prepared to advance that and come back to the House with some numbers. The process is likely to wind up being one that will wind out over a number of years. I can't see us being prepared to

necessarily jump in right off the bat or in a one-year deal with it. It may be too much of a shock to the Finance Minister to propose that. We'll make sure that we sort of try and move things along on a basis that we can sell.

The specific question the Member asked was in terms of the other resources. The federal government would pay for the full cost of the capital and I guess we'd have to talk to them about when and how they would proceed with the building of a detachment, if that's what is required. We couldn't necessarily just arbitrarily do that with them, but we could work with them on that. Once the building is built, our contract then, we pay for the use of the infrastructure at $107 a square metre or 70 percent of $107 per square metre. So it's costed out in the operation contract at that price and we pay 70 percent. But we would have to negotiate with them the building of the facility, because they pay 100 percent of the capital cost.
