Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have questions today for the Minister of Justice and looking at how we can work on preventing and controlling substances that go into the communities, but also what can the RCMP staff do when they are in a community to assist the community and some prevention and training programs.
My first question for the Minister of Justice is what has been done so far. I know there have been a lot of good alcohol and drug busts of bootleggers in the Sahtu region, for example, and up in one of the communities of Beaufort-Delta, but what has been happening within the RCMP “G” Division in terms of working the point of entry for alcohol and drugs going into the small communities? Obviously, we have high incidences in the small communities of alcohol and drug use. It’s getting in there somehow. What is the Department of Justice and the RCMP doing to control that? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
