Thanks. I don’t need a great big definition on this or an answer to this, but I’m just

wondering; if the Government of the Northwest Territories pays for policing services here in the Northwest Territories, why is it that all the proceeds of crime -- the guns, the drugs, the money and anything that has a cash value to it -- doesn’t accrue to the Government of the Northwest Territories. Why is it thrown into a great big federal coffer and we just get a pittance? I think if the cash is collected from drug dealers here and there’s property seized here in the Northwest Territories, that should come back to the residents of the Northwest Territories to go to some of these drug prevention and education activities here in the Northwest Territories. I don’t understand why we just let it go.

See context to find out what was said next.
