Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, it's important to be very clear that MACA does not hire any bylaw officers. Bylaw officers are hired by the community governments, and that's the case in the communities of Tsiigehtchic and Aklavik. The community of Behchoko decided that they no longer needed the service or could not afford the service. I'm not sure what the situation is. We are reviewing, again, the budgets for the communities and several communities have indicated that maybe the community government budgets are not sufficient anymore. We are looking at that. It would allow them to set their own priorities. If bylaw officers are something the communities want to hire, then that would be their decision. It's not a decision of MACA. We are moving towards allowing all the decisions to be made by the community, including capital, and this is something that the communities...It would be up to them. Thank you.
