Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, over the last five years complaints were made to the Commission for Public Complaints against the RCMP about NWT officers. Most of these grievances filed were for alleged excessive use of force. Investigations into many of these incidents revealed that the officers in question had faced assaults on their own by complainants and none of the officers were found to have been in violation of excessive use of force. These reports show us that there's a troubling number of RCMP members who go through a very difficult job. What is the Minister of Justice doing with our government's resources to support our police officers in the field here in the Northwest Territories? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
