Mr. Chair, there are two points I want to raise here. First is when we had the briefing with the Minister of Justice a couple of days ago and the Minister was questioned and we did have some questions around the Arctic Tern facility and the amount of money that was being spent on the facility with the amount of staff and the amount of people in that facility. When it goes right into the efficiency of this government, it flies right in the face of efficiency in terms of what not to do and how not to spend dollars in a facility like this. I was happy to hear the Minister was going to look at options for this facility. I want to ask the Minister about the amount of dollars that he stated. How much does it cost to operate that facility and the amount of staff members who are there and the amount of people
who are in facility? What are we doing with some of the needs that the communities are asking for, such as having RCMP present? The Minister is dipsy-doodling around how he is going to increase RCMP presence in our communities with added patrols or added resources, while a facility like this is certainly underutilized for what it is supposed to be there for. How do we rectify this or correct this? Do we continue spending millions of dollars on a facility that is underutilized?
