Thank you very much for that very wholesome response. I really appreciate that.
As you mentioned, you and all the Treaty Three Police are doing incredible work with very limited resources, so I appreciate all that you do to keep people across our territory safe.
Obviously, we've seen right across Canada, in municipalities, first nations and everywhere in between, a crime wave over the last few years. Bail reform has led to a lot of violent repeat offenders being released. There's been an uptick in gang activity, drugs and the smuggling of illegal items, all things that have been happening right across Canada. Certainly, northwestern Ontario, Treaty 3 territory, is no different.
I'm curious as to whether you can speak to that challenge and how that's playing out across Treaty 3 communities. You mentioned the specialized units and the retention and, obviously, addressing these issues. Specialized units are often necessary, whether it's for gangs, drugs or human trafficking.
I know I've packed a lot into that, but I'm wondering if you could speak to the need for specialized units and that retention piece.
