Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I appreciate the question from the Member and I've been in the community with the Member and talked to the residents of Gameti. The RCMP were in there to talk to them as well. Of course, we're running the pilot project for the second year now during the winter road season to have an RCMP presence on the ground, and I think that's very much been appreciated by the community. But the community, especially the elders, have told us that is not enough, and that in fact they need a full-time RCMP presence in that community. I can tell you that the RCMP agree with them; this government agrees with them and we're working as hard as we can to see a permanent detachment in that community. There are, as Members know, a number of communities without detachments, but we're working systematically to try to reduce the number of communities without detachments and Gameti absolutely, Mr. Speaker, is a priority. Thank you.
