Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Thanks for the information. In regard to the study on the problems that you've talked about and coming out with recommendations, how soon with that be? For your information, the RCMP do have a building in Sachs Harbour that's usable; they do have barracks there that's been shut down for a number of years, but I found out when I was down there that it can be used very easily. So when can the Minister ensure the people of Sachs that they will get some safety and protection that they require? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to recognize Mr. Tyson Pertschy who was employed by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans and Parks Canada. Mr. Pertschy is presently a member of a joint review panel, but, more importantly, he is my nephew. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I recently had an opportunity to visit my constituents in Sachs Harbour from January 9th to 12th, 2006. I was able to do home visits with many residents and hold a constituency meeting. I would like to thank the people of Sachs Harbour for their hospitality during my visit.
Mr. Speaker, I’m sure that this will come as no surprise to you that the number one concern for the residents of Sachs Harbour is the lack of RCMP presence in the community. I have raised this issue in this House on a number of occasions and am beginning to wonder if we will ever address...

Yes, thank you, Mr. Speaker. Today I spoke about the RCMP presence in Sachs Harbour. Mr. Speaker, I spoke about this on a couple of occasions, and to date we still haven't heard any results from the Department of Justice. I understand that in October when I raised the issue up with the Minister of Justice, he was supposed to form a committee with the RCMP and the justice to look at our communities without an RCMP presence. So I'd like to ask the Minister of Justice, can he give me an update in regards to what has been done today and what will be happening in the next couple of months?...
