Chair, this question is related to the one we were dealing with earlier on, and the response here is: With the launch of the rural safety strategy, additional resources have been identified for deployment in these areas, in particular the deployment of appropriate vehicles that will address the rural terrain as well as the use of helicopters in serious crime incidents. You would remember, hon member, that during the 2010 Fifa World Cup there were a number of resources we secured for that particular tournament. Those resources are in the hands of the police to use as an arsenal in the fight against crime.
In addition, as part of the implementation of the rural safety strategy, the gap analysis to determine specific resources needed in rural areas will be conducted in an effort to address shortages and possible redistribution. This analysis will also aim at addressing the needs of all vulnerable sectors of rural communities, including women, children, youth, the elderly and people with disabilities. Thank you.
