Thank you, Mr. Chair. The RCMP is responsible for their own hiring processes. What I can do, Mr. Chair, is continue to meet regularly, quarterly, as I do, with the commanding officer here locally to continue to encourage them within their processes to do recruitment. As I mentioned earlier, there is, I believe, a dedicated individual here in the Northwest Territories who does do recruitment processes, goes into the communities and engages with individuals. As they are doing that, obviously, the more individuals are being recruited here from the Northwest Territories, the more they are in the RCMP. There is a greater number of individuals who can come back and serve their own communities, although even then there is not necessarily a guaranteed choice when you walk out of depot that you get to pick where you go. There are other things to be considered, but fundamentally, the more people are being recruited to the RCMP from the North, the more likely that there is going to be local individuals back in the communities.
As I say, I can certainly continue to raise that with our partners at the RCMP and, if there are some supports that we can provide them, then we'll certainly to do that and continue to engage. I believe I have previously offered and would make the offer again to request that the RCMP provide a technical briefing to the Members, to this committee, about the range of work they do and how exactly they do provide staffing that is appropriate and relevant to the communities. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
