Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my questions are to the Minister of Justice and it's in follow up to the Member's statement. Mr. Speaker, we've had many debates on this topic and the most recent being the time in the last budget session when the Minister and I had some exchanges about what we could do to maximize the RCMP resources so that as many of the boots as possible are on the street. So in that vein, I'd like to know if the Minister has done, or is willing to do, a comprehensive review of the work that the RCMP does and see what we can do to streamline, to lighten their burden of non sort of street work, because I believe if the Minister finds and looks hard enough, there's work that the GNWT department can do, for example. I'm not saying the GNWT could do that without resources either, but it's more doable for us to put more resources in GNWT to take some burden off the RCMP so that we have the RCMP officers on the ground, on the streets in Yellowknife and in communities. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
