I'm not sure that has actually increased the numbers. I'd have to look into that.

We have talked about the fact that there was $10 million given by the provincial government in Alberta. I think it was $8 million towards policing and $2 million towards the justice system, if I have that right. They've changed a bit of how they do things locally, based on that.

If you look at Ontario and Quebec, there are provincial police, the OPP and Sûreté du Québec.

Is that something you think would be helpful in Alberta, if the province had its own police service in addition to the existing services you have, rather than relying solely on the RCMP?
