I just have a question regarding community patrols. In light of the announcement of having more policing patrolling our smaller communities, don’t you think that budget item should be going up if anything, because there will be an increase in patrols in those communities? Is there a reason why it hasn’t gone up? Maybe you can explain the $25,000.

Mahsi, Mr. Chairman. This area, although it’s a small amount, it is community parole, not patrol.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Just again on a follow-up question to Ms. Bisaro’s question to the Minister on the Aboriginal Justice Strategy. On Ms. Schofield’s response, is this the same amount of money that we were hoping to get from the federal government? Is it that once it’s approved through their system that we are expected to see a similar amount identified here in the previous year?

Mahsi, Mr. Chairman. Yes, the Aboriginal Justice Strategy funding will be similar to what we’ve had before.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Is there a possibility to get a breakdown on the positions and the status of those positions by way of P1s, P2s, P3s and affirmation action stats? Also, do you have any people in there with any disabilities?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. It’s my understanding that under services to government we will be establishing a public law office that will be responsible for prosecution of territorial offences. I’d like to know what sort of offences will be prosecuted. I’m specifically thinking of things such as cruelty to animals. If we were to establish an animal cruelty act, would that be the sort of prosecution that would take place under this public law office?
