Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, I do believe that the Department of Infrastructure and ECC do work together in terms of having hydrologists. In fact, I'm certain they do. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, can the Minister explain what this funding is for. Is it for staff positions, training programs? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. So the First Nations-Inuit Policing Program Framework Agreement is a titles by the federal government and somewhat -- doesn't necessarily relate clearly. It provides funding for RCMP officer positions. In this case, it funds five RCMP officer positions. The agreement provides a different ratio of funding as between the GNWT and the federal government where under this agreement it is at a better ratio. It comes in at 52 percent to 48 percent Public Safety Canada and then GNWT. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. And is this part of the police services contract or a separate program? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. So it's a separate agreement but it will then be otherwise subject to, you know, the other provisions. I mean, for instance, of when the RCMP negotiated their collective agreement, these RCMP officers are subject to that but this is separate -- a separate agreement from the usual -- or from the other funding agreement that we have for RCMP positions. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. And where are these -- do we know where these officers are located, or is that a G-division question? Thank you.

Thank you. That's more than I expected. I doubt you'll be able to answer this, but the Dettah -- I don't think there's a Dettah detachment. So that's probably a Yellowknife-based position that's there to service Dettah? Thank you.
