Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Just along the same area, we do have a lot of discussion about having RCMP presence in every community in the North. I think that department should actually do that evaluation, because I don’t think we can have police in every community in the Northwest Territories. They don’t man the posts by themselves and then we have communities of 50 people and then we have communities that are part of the 33 communities that were recognized across the North that are attached to other communities. Like Dettah/Ndilo would probably not get their own police force and the Hay River Reserve would probably not get their own police force. Things like that I think are important to lay those things out for the Regular Members.
The other thing, because we keep asking the same questions and the answer seems to be we’re going to try to put police in every community, but the reality is that’s probably never going to happen. So we should probably bite the bullet. I can’t see it happening. But my question is more along the line of First Nation policing. It has a better cost-sharing
arrangement. Is there a possibility for the department to negotiate a fairly large chunk of the Territorial Policing Services Agreement into the First Nations? There’s a small portion here that’s in the First Nation policing. I don’t know if the Minister can answer that question directly, but I’m wondering if that is something that’s possible.
On another point so I don’t have to ask any more questions, but I need to hear what the plan is for the Community Policing Program again from the Minister. I kind of missed it when he explained it to Ms. Bisaro. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
