I have spoken to court parties at the airport in Inuvik waiting for planes to leave, and the people working in the Department of Justice say that even they are wondering why it is that they’re flown into communities and they can’t book themselves in to a hotel. They know they’re going to be there for a couple of days because of the number of people on the docket. Why do you have to hold charters to fly back to Inuvik and stay in a hotel in Inuvik when there’s a hotel in that community?
I think there’s got to be better planning by the Department of Justice when it comes down to reductions and retention. You should be able to find those savings in O&M in regard to the operational cost of justice. So again, I would like to ask the Minister if he would seriously consider re-profiling these positions, put them back and look at other areas for reductions.
