Of course it would increase trust in the police system. We could increase that trust by having true negotiation of tripartite agreements.
Right now, as I mentioned, the auto-renewal of agreements is really a barrier to having regular conversations with communities. That's often what we hear when doing our audits. We are told that there is no real negotiation when the federal, provincial or territorial government comes to the table. We have to change that dynamic and encourage the transfer to self-administered police services.
