I call this meeting to order.
Welcome to meeting number 12 of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Indigenous and Northern Affairs.
We recognize that we meet on the unceded territory of the Algonquin Anishinabe people.
Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2) and the motion adopted by the committee on Wednesday, September 24, 2025, the committee is continuing its study of indigenous policing and public safety.
I remind everybody to please be cognizant of our great interpreters here. There are little points on how you can interact with your microphone. Make sure it's on and off—off when you're not speaking. If the earpiece is not in your ear, make sure it's on a little circle on the table.
Thank you again to our interpreters.
We're going to have an opportunity to hear some more testimony on this important study.
The Indigenous Police Chiefs of Ontario are here.
We have James Killeen, vice-president, chief of police, United Chiefs and Councils of Manitoulin Anishnaabe Police Service. Welcome.
We are also joined by Kai Liu, executive director, chief of police, retired, Treaty Three Police Service; and Jeff Skye, chief of police, Anishinabek Police Service.
Welcome to the three of you. You will have five minutes to present.
We also have Karen Bell, chief of Garden River First Nation and a police officer as well. She is trying to get online. We've been experiencing some IT issues here on the Hill, so we will be monitoring that. We may have to suspend to allow her to participate.
From Six Nations Police Service, we have by video conference, Darren Montour, chief of police.
All three of you will have five minutes. We'll start by hearing your testimony. If we need to suspend for a brief minute to allow Karen to get online, we will. I will start first with Indigenous Police Chiefs of Ontario.
Jeff, please begin.
