Thank you, Vice-Chief Bear.
You remind me of something that long-time hereditary chief of the Esquimalt Nation Andy Thomas always said to me. He said, “We tell you what we need, and you come back and consult us on some other shiny thing. You should just listen to us in the first place.”
I think both you and Regional Chief Teegee have talked about the things that first nations have put forward on policing and dealing with domestic violence. Now we're talking to you about something else altogether. That was one of the frustrations that Chief Thomas always had.
I'm out of time.
