Yes, there are definitely challenges. We currently expanded our agreement to 10 years. However, due to the funding and the way it is, one of the things in relation to the funding agreements is that it's not a negotiation. It is a case of, “This is what we allot.” There's never any real.... It's not based on population. It's not based on stats. Like, what is it? There's never any real methodology or system that we're told is how it's going to roll out. That's one of the things that needs to be clarified in relation to these funding agreements, namely, what is it? Is it based on population? Is it based on crime stats? I say this because if you look at indigenous policing in our communities, oftentimes with the crime statistics you will see that in British Columbia, we had the second highest Criminal Code stats in the province. We cover 22,000 square kilometres of territory, 10 communities, and we have 10 officers.
We do have a good working relationship with the RCMP and are currently working on an MOU, which needs to be updated. We did implement a municipal pension plan, which I understand a lot of other police services across the country do not have. It was definitely a challenge for us, but we did implement that. Has it helped us with recruiting and retention? I'd say it's fifty-fifty. One of the things I would like to state regarding the funding model, whether it's based on the crime severity index or on indigenous populations or other stats, such as the size of the territory, or the files that come in—
