Again, Mr. Chairman, my argument is that we have to ensure that we have people in the field who are equipped by way of having somebody on the road on the Dempster Highway, regardless of whether they are patrolling or what. If they don’t have radio for communication, to me that is putting that person in danger. Anything can happen when they’re on the road. The basics should include radios in their vehicles. Instead of giving them a vehicle that’s an old rundown pickup truck versus the nice fancy vehicles running around in Inuvik, they should be working those vehicles in the field. So why is that we have vehicles in the field without radios for communications?
