As was described in the criteria that are being put forward, the local chief of police, whoever that may be—whether local police or RCMP who are contracted as the local police—would be asked to submit a letter with any views with regard to how this would impact public safety, in his or her view. In addition, whether it's the local chief of police or the applicants, they will be asked to provide statistics and literature in relation to their own community in terms of the current crime rate, use of illicit drugs in their community, number of arrests, and so on. That information has to be provided with the application.
