Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Grand Chief Benedict, I'd like to hear your point of view. Right now in the House of Commons, we're talking about Bill C‑2, which is at second reading. We're actually talking about Bill C‑12, because Bill C‑2 was set aside.
Bill C‑12 does not include the provisions of Bill C‑2 that affected people's personal information, such as the ability to search their mail. These are things that I think you had some reservations about.
We can't deny that the border issue is important, particularly where you live, in Akwesasne. We hear about gun, drug and human trafficking. Could we bring better solutions for the issue of keeping our borders secure if these elements were managed by an indigenous police force in your area?
