I appreciate the answer, Minister. That's not something we get very often around here.
You say that you believe policing on first nations is essential. You mentioned in your opening comments that the government is committed to tabling legislation. Unfortunately, this is something we have heard for a number of years now.
Your predecessor who was rightly removed from his position at the time in 2022 said that he was going to work around the clock to get this done. He said that it was right around the corner, that this legislation would be here, and since then we have seen delays. The government at one point began blaming the AFN for dragging its feet, which was a ridiculous assertion in an attempt to deflect from your government, but now you are the minister and the buck stops with you.
Why should Canadians and first nations across the country believe you this time?
