Thank you, Mr. Chair. I will also support the motion. I believe in the program or idea of bringing a renewable resource officer 1 to the community level, especially in the smaller communities, where the workload isn’t there for a full-time renewable resource officer position but there is need for a renewable resource officer in the community. Renewable resource officers are not able to travel into these communities frequently enough. With the $500,000 or so that has been reduced in the overall travel for the department, I’m assuming the trips into Sachs Harbour and Paulatuk will decrease even further.
Also, I think the concept of a renewable resource officer 1 is almost like a patrolman, as they used to refer to them in the olden days. Yeah, the olden days. They become very valuable to the actual renewable resource officer who is travelling in from Inuvik who may or may not know the area around Sachs and Paulatuk where the patrols may be necessary. So I will support the motion.
