Public Safety Committee on Dec. 5th, 2012

[John Rafferty, NDP, Thunder Bay—Rainy River, ON]

I wonder if you could comment quickly on whether you're aware of these issues that exist in first nations policing communities.

[François Guimont]

I will only say, Mr. Chairman, that I had some briefings on this from my colleague, Mr. Flack.

There was a top-up, so obviously there is an acknowledgement there was a gap between the requirements and what should be done. That's the famous $30 million.

No, I have not seen, at this point, correspondence on that. It's obviously a topic of interest to the committee.

[The Chair, Conservative, Kevin Sorenson]

Thank you very much.

We'll move back to the government side and to Mr. Payne, please, for five minutes.

[LaVar Payne, Conservative, Medicine Hat, AB]

Thank you, Chair.

Thanks to the witnesses for coming.

I have a couple of questions. I want to go back, through you, Chair, to the commissioner.

[The Chair, Conservative, Kevin Sorenson]

Mr. Payne, as we can hear, the bells have started to ring. I'm held to the orders that when the bells start to ring and the vote is called, our meeting is basically concluded. We will wait.

[LaVar Payne, Conservative, Medicine Hat, AB]

Thank you, Chair, for that wonderful opportunity.

[The Chair, Conservative, Kevin Sorenson]

You have tweaked our interest in your question, Mr. Payne. We'll have to wait for another time.

I want to thank our guests for coming today and for answering the questions regarding the supplementary estimates.

[François Guimont]

Thank you.

[The Chair, Conservative, Kevin Sorenson]

To our minister, who left earlier, and to the head of each of the departments, thank you so much.

The meeting is adjourned.
