I'm not intimately involved in those operations, but to go back to my points earlier about first nations determining the best approaches for community policing, the Nishnawbe Aski Police Service has determined that going under provincial legislation, which is the Ontario Community Safety and Policing Act, is the best way forward for their agency to support their 49 communities.
Not every community may be in that same position. Others.... That's why it's equally important that there's not.... There can't be a national approach to finding community-based solutions for policing. That's quite obvious in many areas. I mean, there's no doubt that the resources need to be there. There's no doubt that the service needs to be essential so that it's equivalent to other policing agencies, but those governance models need to be determined by the communities so that they can determine what model works best for them. Again, it may be under provincial legislation. It may be a hybrid. It may be straight contracting services to the OPP or to a municipal police force. Those decisions need to be made by the communities themselves.
