Statements in Debates
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, can the Minister inform the people in the Sahtu, maybe the community of Fort Good Hope because that’s where the pilot project is being initiated, is there a number or percentage of inmates who are going to participate in this year’s pilot project? Thank you.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I certainly support the Minister. I know he's been working very hard with his federal government of the Liberal government and now the Conservative government, and also in the last three years in this Assembly in terms of getting RCMP officers in our communities in the Northwest Territories. I again urge him and press him. There's a strong need to have officers in our communities. You know, we have to get creative. Get those communities that have no officers.
