Mr. Speaker, I'm more than prepared to come and talk to the Social Programs committee about such an initiative, but I am concerned that we set up some sort of paper shuffling exercise involving the RCMP, a long, drawn out process that really does nothing, Mr. Speaker. I think we all share the same thoughts, and that is to get as many RCMP officers on the ground and make sure their time isn't spent frivolously doing unnecessary paperwork.

Now, Mr. Speaker, I would say that I haven't heard from the RCMP this concern. They have a number of opportunities to bring this to my attention. We meet very frequently. This is not something that has been brought to my attention in terms of two people left in the community to police an entire community the size of Yellowknife. That's never been raised with me, Mr. Speaker. But I'll certainly sit down with Social Programs, sit down with the new commanding officer, and we can talk about what might have some merit. Thank you.
