-- ability, and therefore costs have been rolled into with PPSA, the federal government. Thank you.

Yes, I do.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Well, that's something that is really going to be determined by us. Clearly, that is a model that is more complex and expensive, I imagine, but it certainly is a possibility. I believe it was mentioned at the Caucus retreat in August. I'm not certain whether there was a consensus in the room as to where to go with that; certainly, that is being examined. The question is how complicated might that be. Cost is always an issue also. So, ultimately, that will be a determination that is made by the House. Thank you.

Mr. Chair, I am not certain that we drill down to that level of numbers in dealing with the RCMP. To a large extent, we rely on their good sense in allocating funds. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Is the Member talking about the $1,000 item?

Yes, Mr. Speaker, the difficulties with the line included were rather in an area that is the jurisdiction of the National Energy Board, so that would be the primary party that is responsible for issues arising from difficulties with the pipeline. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Yes. I only ask that he put his question in writing to us so that we could fully respond. I want to make sure that we do make a response to him that answers fully his question. We have heard his oral question. We will attempt to make a response. However, it might be in all of our best interest to have him write to us a detailed question. That is my simple submission on this, Mr. Chair.

He was talking about the Akaitcho process.

Ultimately, that would be a decision of the RCMP. However, as I mentioned, we do consult with them. If we thought this was a particularly good idea, which I imagine we might, I could certainly bring it forth to the commanding officer, and then he could respond. Thank you.

It can be that certain programs are available in institutions outside Yellowknife, so that would, of course, factor in if there was a very specialized program that was available elsewhere, then that would be a consideration on the placement of the inmate. Thank you.
