Thank you, Madam Chair. Thank you, Mr. Bromley. I was going to ask some of those questions. I will follow up to some of those questions Mr. Bromley was asking the Minister regarding the resource development RCMP, I guess you can call it.

There is family violence RCMP and now we have resource development RCMP. I hope this position can somehow make its way into where the Sahtu is having some oil and gas activity that increases a whole bunch of other things that RCMP only can deal with.

One of them is that the Norman Wells liquor store restriction has been lifted since February 1st . We

have been getting a lot of calls from communities.

The Minister and I did a tour and the Minister heard also the impacts of the lifting of the liquor sales in Norman Wells and the impacts on the communities, the families and the need for more RCMP presence. Actually, we heard some horror stories in Colville Lake, where bootlegging has gotten quite profitable. It is hitting our younger population. That is very sad. I’m hoping the Minister would have a good discussion with the future plans on how to look at those situations. Colville Lake, God bless their heart, have come up with very strong how they want to tackle in their community, and that is community leadership. They have come forward with saying this is what we want to do. They have taken the Minister to task and said this is what we want to do, can you help us out here. They come with some very strong positions.

The law enforcement, again, we need to look it up, beef it up. I would ask if the Minister sometime in this Assembly, this House here, if he would just provide again a list of communities without RCMP detachments. I don’t know if we did it every year. I just want to see if it increases to the better.

It’s more of a comment that we are looking for enforcement in our communities without RCMP. Sometimes the weather plays a role in the response to communities without members. It happened in Colville Lake because the weather was bad. They couldn’t drive. It was just a bad time. It was real bad timing. However, crime doesn’t know any time. It just does it, especially in small communities. The people are wondering what can they do, especially in very serious incidents. Sometimes the RCMP can’t get there for a day or two or three days. They are sort of held ransom. It is just through leadership that they could hold the community together and we get the phone call.

I just want to again remind the Minister about RCMP that are not in our communities. We are starting to think that’s the norm, which it isn’t. The communities that do have RCMP sort of take that for granted, the appreciation of members being there. I want to remind the Minister that we will do our part. Hopefully, the Department of Justice will do theirs. It’s more of a comment to the Minister. Thank you.
