Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My questions are directed to the Minister of Justice in regard to the policing in small communities where we don’t have a permanent RCMP presence, but more in line of trying to add policing services to our smaller communities. In light of the decision to look at establishing a position in Fort McPherson, it was welcome news for the community of Tsiigehtchic, but we’re seeing some challenges in regard to the actual delivery of the program in the communities. I think even the RCMP have identified some areas that they have issue with in regard to not only providing the service but being able to actually physically spend time in the community, have an office to work out of, have a telecommunications system in place so that they can relay between themselves and back into Fort McPherson by radio communications. I think that those are the things we missed on that decision. So I’d like to ask the Minister exactly what are we doing to improve and equip the RCMP and the communities with the resources they need to adequately provide policing services in those communities, ensuring that we have the equipment and the facilities to operate out of? Thank you.
