Thank you very much, Madam Chair. I just want to reiterate my colleagues from the smaller communities who are certainly supportive of policing the smaller communities. I know initiatives of getting safety officers into the community of Wrigley have been supported by this government and I look forward to continued support of maintaining those positions in Fort Simpson.

I did speak with the Minister earlier this year about a continuation of plan to have a full operating detachment in Wrigley. It’s interesting. I spoke in the House earlier about how I raised the issue of getting RCMP policing into Wrigley. It was all because I was trying to get nursing into Wrigley. I did get the police, but I never did get the nurses. That’s another initiative that I will continue to pursue in this House.

I think part of the strategy is getting that detachment. I spoke to the Minister about funding the detachment and now there was a recent agreement. The Minister indicates funding of the detachment will be I don’t know what percentage the burden of our GNWT in developing the detachment there. I know they’re quite expensive, but the federal plan was talking about portable detachments that we can use to house RCMP officers, as well as room for cells. I don’t know if the Minister has looked at that yet, has planned to engage with his federal counterparts in getting an actual floor plan of that detachment unit and the cost of it. I’d certainly like to pursue it in the upcoming capital plan and the long-term capital plan as well. As long as we are moving forward, it is the wish of the community of Wrigley to see a return of a nurse and it’s a bonus that the RCMP are there. With that, those are my opening comments, Madam Chair. Thank you very much.
