Debates of November 28, 2007 (day 4)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, this question is for the honourable Minister of Justice. Yesterday I asked a question with regard to the timeline of the RCMP in the community of Sachs Harbour. Can the Minister give me a day or date that they’ll have the officers on the ground in the community, because we’re policing ourselves in that community? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Jacobson. The honourable Minister responsible for Justice, Mr. Lafferty.

Return To Question 37-16(1): RCMP Detachment In Sachs Harbour

Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I appreciate the Member’s persistence in this specific area. With respect to Sachs Harbour, the existing detachment that we are currently working on needs to be replaced, but the plan is to have a fully operational detachment by the spring of 2008. That’s what I can provide to the Member at this time. Mahsi.

Thank you, Mr. Lafferty. Supplementary, Mr. Jacobson.
