Thank you, Mr. Chair.

I am on the Cree and Anishinabe territory of Abitibi—Baie-James—Nunavik—Eeyou in Quebec.

My question is for Chief Louie of the First Nations Lands Advisory Board.

In your brief you wrote that in terms of policing, many first nations communities with land codes have been turned away by police when they've asked for help.

Could you provide the committee with concrete examples of this type of situation and explain in more detail the consequences of these refusals for first nations communities?
