Thank you, Mr. Speaker. In the individual communities, we have community policing plans where the community

leadership and the RCMP get together and set their priorities. That helps them focus their particular area in areas the community wants. But it does take cooperation with community members to stop alcohol from coming into the community. We do have the Crime Stoppers number where individuals can phone in and not give their name but identify if they believe there is alcohol coming into the communities. That has been a valuable tool and the RCMP continue to promote that, that 1-800 number, so that individuals can call.

It doesn’t always necessarily result in bootlegging charges, because if you are apprehended with booze, it wouldn’t actually fall under bootlegging. You actually have to be arrested during the act of bootlegging to be charged with bootlegging, but we are getting people with possession. I have shared with Members a significant number of photos that have come in over the last year, where the RCMP has been able to get out there with tips from communities and stop the alcohol from coming in. A lot still needs to be done. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
