I understand that it is a federal government responsibility and a huge chunk of that cost is on the federal government’s hands. I want to ask the Minister here, for these 10 communities without RCMP officers, we are going to look at projects such as the Deh Cho Bridge and we’re looking at putting additional dollars to that project. Why not to the communities without RCMP officers such as Tsiigehtchic, Nahanni, Wrigley, Kakisa, Colville? People are more important than steel and metal. I want to ask the Minister if he would go to his colleagues and say let’s put an RCMP detachment in those communities, because right now we’re going to discuss how we’re going to put more dollars into the Deh Cho Bridge. Can the Minister go to his colleagues and say we need to put RCMP detachments into a community, a bunch of people, for their safety? Would he do that?
