Not having a clear recollection of exactly when this conversation was, I think it goes back to this idea of collaborating. If Mi'kmaq and Wolastoqey first nations were seen as having a role, seen as having a management role, and that management role was seen to be collaborative or in partnership with C and P officers, maybe there could be training, collaboration, joint work, shared information or data sharing. I do think these are opportunities to work together.
My home community of Listuguj does have a rangers program. We have had it for about 20-plus years. I think they do work with local enforcement. There's a relationship. A lot of it is about collaboration and relationship building, but I think it requires the change in perspective of seeing a partnership with indigenous nations as opposed to their being just simply stakeholders in this.
