I wonder if you could comment quickly on whether you're aware of these issues that exist in first nations policing communities.
Deputy Minister, Department of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness
I will only say, Mr. Chairman, that I had some briefings on this from my colleague, Mr. Flack.
There was a top-up, so obviously there is an acknowledgement there was a gap between the requirements and what should be done. That's the famous $30 million.
No, I have not seen, at this point, correspondence on that. It's obviously a topic of interest to the committee.

Thanks to the witnesses for coming.
I have a couple of questions. I want to go back, through you, Chair, to the commissioner.

Mr. Payne, as we can hear, the bells have started to ring. I'm held to the orders that when the bells start to ring and the vote is called, our meeting is basically concluded. We will wait.
