You know the problem has been ignored for the last 10 years. So to just mount up the RCMP, have them get their infantry ready, and go marching into the reserves might not be the best solution in this particular climate. In this political climate, when you have land disputes and everything going on in Ontario and Quebec.... If this approach is going to take place, it should have been put into place by former governments 10 years ago—a long time ago. But now that we're all left with this mess to clean up, the real bottom line is really simple: if we at least start with one strategy and see a success with it, then we can move forward.
But I know that first nations people as a whole are asking, when was the last time a non-native person aiding and abetting this situation was indicted? If you pass laws saying there should no longer be acetate tow on reservations, and you trace it back and you indict the CEO of Eastman Kodak, and if another Indian were also to be in jail, that would be nothing.
Do you know how many Indians are in jail right now? Well, I guarantee you, there are no non-native CEOs in jail. If you start making them accountable for their activities, believe me, it will stop. That I'm sure of.
