Mr. Speaker, I'll certainly come forward in that time frame for a discussion with committee. I think we need to understand what the best options for us are. In other jurisdictions I think there are new offices that are created that are really outside the work that the RCMP are doing and we have to have a discussion around what the best model for the Northwest Territories would be. I think this community safety approach is something that I'm supportive of, but I want to understand the cost benefit. You have to ask yourself if we'd be better served to put the resources into the RCMP to help them do their job. I don't know the answer to that question, Mr. Speaker, but it's one that I want to pursue, discuss, analyze, and I'll certainly be back to committee to look at this and other options. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
