Okay. Well, I just said that he should -- they should create a position in Whati so that way people can work with their -- you know, deal with -- work with the people over there in that community because the two -- yes, the -- in Behchoko, we have -- there's over 2,000 people there and the last -- in January, when they had the court, I know a lot of our young people's name were on the list and it's -- you know, it's sad, you know. And a lot of these young people, you know, there are a lot -- there's a lot of good people but everything involves drugs and alcohol. So if we do have more positions, we have more people working in the region, then, you know, we can eliminate or we can deal with the problem as it, you know, arise. So that's why I'm just asking that if we can have -- if there's more position situated in Tlicho region, I'm sure most of these crime rates will reduce because they're dealing with it, they're working with the people. I mean, they're working with the young people because it's mostly the young people. And just like my colleague said, it's some of the people are returning, you know, when the fall time comes, it's the same old people and it's -- we got to do something. We got to do more for the people. And I just wanted to see more jobs transferred to Tlicho region from the North Slave. And, you know, even in Gameti, they need something over there too for their own security. That's what the people are asking for, is that they need something from the police. They ask for it. They ask for a police station. We have a visiting police. You know, they come to the community but they announce, you know, that we're coming, you know. And then they come on Monday after weekend, after everything -- all the -- everything happened. So it's like they don't need them on weekdays, that's what they -- that's what I was told, that they need them on weekends. That's the busiest time. So we're talking about corrections so I just wanted to know that. You know, so there's two things. We want more jobs to the Tlicho region and an RCMP station in Gameti. Thank you.
