Thank you, Madam Chair. And my apologies for getting the activity incorrect. I just saw the office of the deputy, and I know the deputy is where the buck stops on the actioning of these items. So my apologies. I think that is all for this section for me. Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I'm assuming this is where the community safety officer pilot is being funded, so maybe I'll ask about that. I just see where the pilot project has found itself. I know it's still under review but how is it going? Thank you.

Thank you. So from -- by all accounts, the pilot project is going well. I hear good reports on -- you know, anecdotically about what's happening. I'm not sure if the deputy minister has anything to add, but I'd like to hand it to her. Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Chair. The department -- things are going well. There's training with the community safety officer program, applied suicide intervention skills, de-escalation. So we are working with the community and the program to train them and support them as well as we are continuing to gather monthly reporting measures on the progress of the pilot, including community partnership and activities, program calls for support, and RCMP calls for service and prisoner count, so collecting statistics as well to keep track for a future evaluation. Thank you, Madam Chair.
