Yeah, thank you. I too want to say -- reiterate what the last two Members talked about. This department needs to work together and protect people. Crime rates in my region, I could say for a couple of the communities in my region, is very high. People are afraid, and lives are being destroyed because of the drug trade. And, yeah, so what I have to say, I guess, is give the police the support that they need to combat these crimes that are happening in our communities. It's sad to say that people in my community of Fort Providence can't even leave their homes unless there's somebody there to watch their house because it seems like every night a person's gone, somebody's breaking in their house. And people don't have the resources to help the police, I guess. And so it's causing a lot of chaos in the community. The crime rate is high. I went to a court proceeding one time. It was standing room only. So we need support in all the departments from health to education need to work together to help the people somehow and, like, community wellness to do something to help the people. Community justice, there's young people that are getting charged for first-time offences because there's no committee in place, stuff like that. Those things don't need to happen this day and age. So that's what I wanted to say. So thank you.
