Yes, thank you, Mr. Chair. That's great. As I mentioned, you know, looking back over the years we had a good uptake. I believe it was in the '90s, somewhere around there. I've seen a number of officers, First Nations, that actually succeeded, you know, became officers, which is great, but we'd like to see more. I know a few years back there was a lot of advertising for this. I haven't seen very much lately, but, you know, what's the plan for this? Thank you.

I know a number of years ago we had a bylaw officer at the time take the Aboriginal policing, but since then, that is almost 20 years ago, Mr. Chair. You know, the community would really like to see a station set up in Tsiigehtchic. Would that...
Thank you, Mr. Beaulieu. We will continue after a short recess. Thank you.
