Mr. Speaker, certainly that is one of the areas of interest from our department, working with the RCMP “G” Division. I did meet with the commanding officer and also sergeants or the district officers dealing with RCMP presence, that we need to increase our presence in the communities that do not have RCMP detachments. Trout Lake, as an example, will be part of our ongoing discussions that we will be having and the strategizing on how we can increase our presence into the community. One of the goals is to have, of course, a detachment in all communities, but that’s a long-term goal. In the interim, we certainly need to improve our services that we do provide, protection services into the communities and the safety aspect. I’ll certainly do my part as the Justice Minister to work with RCMP “G” Division to increase our presence into the communities that do not have an RCMP detachment. Mahsi.
