Thank you. Next I have Mr. Braden.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. In this case right now, I guess two RCMP will be stationed outside of Inuvik. So I’m just wondering, can the Minister ensure that these people that are hired, we’ll make sure that they actually travel to Sachs Harbour as needed? Thank you.
