Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I know I spoke about this yesterday, Mr. Chairman, with regard to the courthouse. I had a chance to take a look at the report that was done. I understand we can do a lot of savings with building a new courthouse in Yellowknife. There are other ways you can spend that money in terms of prevention for the communities and helping out the people. In smaller communities, he’s talking about security and the need for more space, where the RCMP, the victim, the assailant, all congregate in the community hall. Basically there is no security in situations like that. Why...
Question has been called. All those in favour? All those opposed? The motion is carried.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I have a follow-up. The communities that don’t have an RCMP presence right now, can the Minister let the House know what happens in case there’s a death in the community and there is no RCMP precedence and you have to fly two-and-a-half or three hours before you can get there? Who is liable for this? Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
