Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the community of Tsiigehtchic is hopeful that, in the near future, they will have a resident in our renewable resource officer to turn to in emergencies. Up until now, we have had to place calls to Inuvik, then wait for staff from Inuvik or Fort MacPherson to visit the community. In the past, that worked for Tsiigehtchic, but now the situation has changed.

Wild animals are entering the community. Just last month, wolves came into town and attacked and killed two dogs. In a separate incident, wolves also approached other residents. We have also seen bears entering the community. Mr. Speaker, fortunately, no people have been hurt, but residents are worried. Our wild visitors typically turn up in the early morning and in the evenings, when children are out walking, and it is harder to get a hold of an officer.

Mr. Speaker, I was very excited to hear that ENR is introducing a new position for the community, from part-time to full-time. I will leave that there because I don't want to comment on an open job competition. Instead, my concern right now is the safety of the community until the position is filled. I will have questions for the Minister later today. Thank you.
