Thank you, Mr. Speaker. As Members know, it is the federal government that is responsible for the capital money, the capital allocation to build detachments. I have spoken to the federal Justice Minister about this. He's very much supportive, as are the RCMP. So it really is about us finding the operational dollars, getting the commitment from the RCMP to do this. I believe and know from talking to the chief superintendent, he recognizes the urgency. I can assure the Member we're working as quickly as we possibly can to see a detachment built there. I'd like to see it happen. I'd like to see the commitment to a full-time presence before we leave office next October. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
