One of the things for us is that during the COVID pandemic, we had our own first nations indigenous-led governments that addressed the public health and safety of our people. It worked very well, including when we had our wildfire situations in 2024 and 2025.
That's one thing that propelled us to a point where I feel we can administer our own policing service reform. If you give us the legislation to create and administer our own policing forces, we as a people will know how to serve our people and their needs, and will have the understanding, which, I'm told, the RCMP do not possess. We will understand the plight of our people in terms of the systemic issues that we faced in the past, plus identify the root causes that our people are facing, whether it's through the CFS system of the past, or even from Indian residential schools. That's one thing we are advocating for, to create, through self-determination, our own first nation policing forces and services.
