Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I wanted to ask a few questions in regard to trying to get northerners interested in a career with the RCMP and I'm wondering, I guess, and I'm pretty sure I know the answer to this, but access to funding such as student financial assistance to attend the depot in Regina. I'm just wondering, what funding is available to northerners who want to go through the RCMP recruitment process and come back north? Have we ever thought of things like return-of-service programs where we could negotiate with the Solicitor General to allow us so many spaces at depot so that we can send so many residents down there a year and they

could come back and work in the Northwest Territories? Have we done anything like that, or looked at options like that? Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
