Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you to all of the witnesses for attending.
Good day to Mr. Ullyett and Mr. Ford in Whitehorse.
Mr. Ullyett, I have in front of me the executive summary for the “Sharing Common Ground” report you referred to in your opening statements. I'll read a quick sentence here, to put some things into context.
Part of the first page in the executive summary says:We have heard many accounts of policing excellence, including stories of RCMP members going above and beyond their normal duties. The purpose of the Review is to improve the quality of policing services for all citizens in the territory.
A bit further on, they recommend the establishment of Yukon Police Council, with a mandate to ensure that community needs and values are reflected in territorial policing policies and practices....
Then they recommend a makeup of that kind of council. Is there any appetite or effort right now in Yukon to have a separate police council, or is the government currently satisfied with using the current processes?
