Thank you so much.
I have questions for Minister Miller.
I've heard from chiefs in northern Ontario that community police officers in their communities are not deemed essential services, and that your government is refusing to negotiate new funding for the services that these officers provide. I know there's a lot of overlap between your department and Minister Mendicino's department on public safety, but can you share with this committee what your department is doing to ensure northern first nations can keep their communities safe?
