Thank you, Mr. Chair. Some years ago, what was then the Solicitor General’s Department started an aboriginal First Nations policing program, which was to encourage aboriginal members to go into the RCMP, and offered a 52-48 financial split with governments and territories. We only managed to get four of the First Nations policing officers funded at that level, and that hasn’t changed, although we’ve been going for many years. That’s why it’s broken out differently: the other program is 70-30 per cent and this is 52-48.
