My recommendations were about how to address the problem right now. We have a crisis right now, because first nations are being targeted by police officers and the government at large. If this bill were to pass and they added this provision for a special first nations advocate for all of these core processes, that wouldn't stop first nations from being targeted to begin with. That's like trying to provide compensation to murdered indigenous women after they've already been murdered. It's too little too late. So I don't think it would be effective to counter all of the rights violations currently existing under Bill C-51.
