Thank you, Mr. Chairman. There are a couple of things that we need to continue to work on, and that is trying to find accommodations. As I mentioned to the Member, the RCMP are working with the community. The Member advised me during debate in the House earlier today that the RCMP was requesting the community supply that accommodation in kind. That was the first that I had heard about that. So we are going to go back to the RCMP and discuss that with them.
You know, the cost of accommodations in a community like Tsiigehtchic shouldn’t be an impediment to having Members overnight in the community, so we’ll look at that.
Also, the discussion about detachments and new detachments in communities that currently don’t have detachments, the formula has changed. The Government of the Northwest Territories is now responsible for 70 percent of the capital costs of those new detachments. We have some money earmarked for a refurb of the detachment in Inuvik and also the one in Behchoko, but no new detachments. A new detachment, just to ballpark it, is somewhere between $7 million and $10 million, $7 million and $11 million, in that range. So we
have to ensure that we have the capital dollars before we can make commitments to building detachments.
