Thank you very much, Chair.
Thank you to the witnesses for appearing today.
Thank you, Auditor General, for this very important and timely report. It is important to highlight these issues.
I'll start with you, Deputy Minister Tupper, and ask you to talk a bit about how you manage the relationships between the RCMP and their contract policing with first nations in the various negotiation agreements that you enter, and then with the federal government in terms of providing resources.
