Thank you, Mr. Chair. We are working with the RCMP and looking at options, including having discussions with our federal partner on accessing resources dedicated to First Nations policing. The challenge, though, in having a program that would have officers by themselves in communities is likely insurmountable, just given the occupational health concerns that would come into play and the program design. Where we see community constables, for example, they are always co-located where they have the additional support of other officers. So that has not been something that we have looked at, a program that might see them placed in communities where there are not existing resources. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
