That's for further discussion, Mr. Chair, in terms of we had different points of view and I'm going to leave it at that in terms of the roles of the special constable. Hopefully, we'll have that discussion at another time.
Now, in terms of the RCMP officers, right now we're focusing on a physical presence in the community with a detachment and with housing and all this that support an RCMP officer in the community. Is there any type of thought, and I'm going to leave it with the Minister, in terms of what about the community itself having some kind of law enforcement present? I mean, like Colville Lake, could the band somehow enforce some community laws where members would have some respect for the chief or some elders so other serious crimes could be referred to the detachment in Fort Good Hope or Norman
Wells, but there's got to be some form of law enforcement in the communities? There is some, but we've got to have some sort of a linkage, and I'm not to sure how that would fit into the whole public safety or any other course that we go into, or be impacted. So just sort of a thought right now with the department to alleviate the community members that don't have RCMP. That's a real sore point in my communities and probably other regions that we, in the Northwest Territories, in this day and age, don't have any RCMP members in some of our communities, but we're still adding up on other communities that have RCMP members. It just doesn't make sense in our small communities. It's a crying shame with the amount of resource development happening here in the North. So, Mr. Chairman, I'm going to leave that, though, with the Minister.
