That is correct.
Salary is the focus. There's no doubt about that because it makes up 80% of our budget. When it comes to our police response and our duties, I recall when I first became the chief of Edmonton the way it came to my attention is that our folks were picking up people who were essentially either homeless or intoxicated. There was no place to take them because shelters or locations were not open after 4 p.m. It was an 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday business. They had no place to take these folks at 11 o'clock at night or 3 o'clock in the morning. They were driving around with them in the back seat of the police car because there was no place to take them; they had no family members available, etc. The impact of that was extraordinary.
The other thing we dealt with were homeless persons who were injured, for example, or were mentally ill. On any particular Saturday night we would have three police cars parked at the emergency ward at the hospital, with six police officers sitting there waiting six hours for the individual they had picked up or arrested to get medical treatment. Those folks are not out on the street doing police work, keeping the predators off the street. They're basically babysitting, because they have to take care of these people; the system is backed up and is not prepared to deal with these people. We become basically either taxi drivers or social workers, which is not our primary responsibility.
