Thank you, Madam Speaker. When an individual is arrested and charged, it is within the decision-making of the RCMP whether or not to release the name. I can't take a role in terms of making a choice or directing their operations, although I am confident that, when appropriate, when there are no other factors of safety or other ongoing investigations, they do generally release those names by way of a media release quite promptly. When an individual is detained by the RCMP in the course of a program or in the course of another investigation, if they are detained but released without charge, that...

Mr. Chair, the cost of a new detachment is approximately $7 to $10 million simply to build it. That is notwithstanding the several millions of dollars of continuing maintenance thereafter, so that is not in the immediate capital plan. I am happy to answer that question. I am just not sure if there are more detailed questions about policing services as opposed to community policing. I guess I am a bit in the chair's hands, as well. Thank you.

Mr. Chair, thank you. Only again that, obviously, there is a variety of people from the Department of Justice watching today's proceedings closely, and we will take the comments from the Members back to the RCMP when we meet with them regularly. Thanks, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Yes, I do have a breakdown by community that we can provide to the Member. Money that flows through the Victim Services does go direct to the individual communities via community partners, whether it's community governments or organizations such as the Native Women's Association. Subject to what the Member might say, I would suggest a commitment to providing the allocation by community after, as part of our response, but I certainly can read the numbers out if that's preferred. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. There is a brand now complex in Fort Smith, which is obviously there, but it's not the therapeutic community. The therapeutic community is the one that is actually in Hay River. The idea there is that there are four phases that are going to be provided to individuals who come into contact with the system. From the very earliest integration into the facility, rather than being in a position where they are sort of told how to manage their lives and controlled, they are given increasing ability and opportunities to take responsibility for their own actions, and as they do...

The Stanton Territorial Hospital is a world-class facility. It is going to provide an opportunity for residents of the Northwest Territories, all residents of the Northwest Territories, to access services that would have otherwise not been available to us. While we acknowledge that there have been some challenges in the early, very early, stages of the roll-out of this very large and complex building, I am confident that those services are going to be here and to provide for all residents of the Northwest Territories. The P3 process for the Stanton Territorial Hospital was subject to quite...

Thank you, Mr. Chair. It may be that the Member is referencing the special constable program. The special constable program was and is a program that is run under the RCMP. In general, although under the territorial police financing agreement there is a contribution that is made towards funding of training for the RCMP, the Department of Justice in the Northwest Territories does not otherwise have direct control over the different training programs that are offered by the RCMP. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Mr. Chair, the P1 designation is one that is held by the GNWT, created by the GNWT's processes. I do not have any information that it is a status that applies within the RCMP, and I have no control over the RCMP's hiring process. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Sorry, Mr. Chair. Yes, I was entirely focused on the most recent evaluation that was done, of the Integrated Case Management; that's the social return on investment and that is the one that has not been shared. As I have said, my target date is to have it, while it's not quite a commitment, it's at least a target, to have it by the end of the current sitting of the Assembly. The older one, from roughly 2017, Mr. Chair, ought to have been previously shared, and if it wasn't a tabled document, then I will confirm and we can make sure that it is. I will look into whether there was any restriction...

Thank you, Mr. Chair. There are currently within the North Slave Correctional Facility eight individuals, four sentenced and four on remand, who are classified as being Nunavut prisoners. As far as it being a choice necessarily, Mr. Chair, it involves classification that is done by correctional officials, so just to be clear, it's not necessarily a choice either of the Department of Justice or of the individuals, but it depends on a variety of factors. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
