Thank you.
Indeed, the exercise is not easy, given the people around the table. Thank you for your transparency under the circumstances.
Obviously, I think policing is essential and the role of the police officer needs to be valued in our society. I also recognize the importance of indigenous policing. I am one of those who think it should be considered an essential service.
I would still like to ask you a question. Some money is paid out, but it's not always spent. So I get the impression that there is a lack of funding for public safety in general in Canada.
Is any money intended for indigenous communities being spent elsewhere as a result of situations that appear more urgent and more essential to you than developing services for first nations?
