Thank you, Chair.
I want to say from one police officer to another, thank you very much for your service to our country. It's been a tough couple of years. I just want you to know how much the government—and I'm sure members across the way would echo this—appreciates all the work that you do to protect our interest.
Going back to the health care situation, I just want to make sure I understand it properly, because I too have heard from a number of police officers who think this is a good way to move forward. And I've also heard from people in municipalities that have contracting through the RCMP who believe this is a cost-saving measure for them.
To be clear, the provinces and the territories currently are receiving federal transfers, from the federal government, based on total population figures that include RCMP members already. Is that correct?
