Thank you very much. I appreciate that.
I won't repeat what we talked about yesterday, but I want to build on it because you highlighted a number of issues, Auditor General.
The overarching thing we come back to is moving toward self-administered agreements and moving to a place where first nations and Inuit policing services are recognized as essential, which is where we want to be and need to be. Public Safety officials mentioned that it is something they have been working on. I will come to you in a minute here, but the former minister for public safety mentioned in September 2022, I believe, that the legislation would be just around the corner. That's a pretty wide corner, because we are a couple of years out and we still don't have that legislation being brought forward.
Can you speak to that gap that exists, and how it can be fixed by declaring or recognizing these services as essential and moving toward self-administered agreements?
