Mr. Chairman, I think the RCMP is very supportive of such programs and they want to make sure they have a representative workforce. So programs like the Special Constables Program, which I think have been well received in the North in past, are things they're considering. I know they've conducted regional consultations this fall. They're compiling the information that has come from those consultations. But I think anecdotally we already know that people are very supportive of this. It's something that our government's been supportive of. Any of the programs that we've been able to access from the federal government where there are special monies earmarked for aboriginal policing strategies, for RCMP access programs, for special constables, we've always been supportive of and I can say, from meeting with my provincial and territorial colleagues, the other northern territories are also very supportive as well, as you can imagine, northern jurisdictions. So we have some common interests here in ensuring that this stays high on the federal government's

radar. We're very supportive of any monies that can be earmarked for either special constables or other programs that would see more aboriginal officers trained and more aboriginal officers in our communities. Thank you.
