Madam Chair, you can look at news from before I was born and apply the same issues to 2020.
When a video was released of an RCMP officer using the door of a police truck to run down and hit a man in Kinngait, many were shocked, but not us in the north. The relationship with the RCMP in the north is so complicated that many don't even call the police because they are afraid for their own safety.
We have been let down repeatedly. Black people and indigenous peoples of this country share those challenges.
The federal government has the power to create change. When will we see action, not just empty words?
