Well, I believe we need to have an adequate amount that will add to the infrastructure, the training and the usual human resources needed to address that, based on the population of our indigenous communities, including in remote, isolated communities like ours of Manto Sipi. There needs to be a firm commitment from Canada, including the Province of Manitoba, to work with our indigenous governments in Manitoba—this could be totally across Canada as well—that the policing service is an essential item for our community.
Another thing we are also facing is that when there are serious issues like assaults or domestic issues, they are not being treated in a manner similar to when these issues occur in an urban environment. Sometimes we have to wait two weeks before the RCMP come to our communities to investigate—two weeks. That's not right. That's one of the things we want to change.
