Thank you, Madam Chair. In terms of community justice committees, we have contribution agreements with the committees in the communities, and the Member's right, that they do report up to Yellowknife when there are concerns, or questions, or issues that they need to deal with. I can't remember which Member, but I think the point was made earlier that we have undertaken a review of our community justice committees because we've recognized for some time now that some function much more effectively, we believe, than others. I don't think we're entirely sure why. It doesn't necessarily seem to be always the amount of funding. So there are a number of issues here.

I think when it comes to diversions, a community has to buy the approach, has to believe that diversions make sense and want to use the community justice committee for that reason. The RCMP has got to be supportive in the community. If they're not, this won't work. So there are a number of issues that we're working through. I'm hoping by the next time we meet, in June, to have finished the review and the inventory of our committees, and then we can talk, I think, more effectively about resourcing; what kinds of resource decisions we need to make. Training is another thing that I really think we need to talk about and focus on. We know that the level of training in our community justice committees is not the same throughout our communities. So I think it makes a lot more sense for us to sit down and do this comprehensive review, and then identify gaps and talk about what kinds of resourcing we need.

It may be that we need to talk about, in this era of self-government, of regional support positions potentially. I

know that you've seen the initiative with new regional positions in this budget for the Department of the Executive. I'm not sure exactly what role they'll play in terms of some of our programs, vis a vis our community justice committees. But I think it's a very good point, and something we need to have more discussion around. I guess I'd like to have better information for the Member, and I believe that I will have that as we sit down with committee prior to the June session. Thank you, Madam Chair.
