Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, a bit of a good news story for today.
Mr. Speaker, the presence of the RCMP has improved in Tsiigehtchic. In January alone, we have had three separate times the RCMP have come to Tsiigehtchic to overnight. On one occasion, Mr. Speaker, two officers travelled from Fort McPherson to Tsiigehtchic by snowmobile down the Peel River and upstream on the Mackenzie to Tsiigehtchic, checking cabins along the way.
Mr. Speaker, this was great to see as it hasn't been done for many years. Also, while in Tsiigehtchic, the RCMP do traffic stops on the ice road.
Mr. Speaker, the community of Tsiigehtchic is very pleased with the improved services since a housing unit has been put in place in the community for the RCMP to stay. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
