Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I want to assure both witnesses that I'm hearing very clearly the emphasis on prevention and increasing the capacity of first nations policing.
In your opening, Chief Teegee, you expressed concerns about the red flag laws, particularly the possibility of infringing upon treaty and indigenous rights. You suggested that they need to be amended.
I'm going to ask you a very specific question, because I'm trying to get a clear picture here. If those sections on the red flag laws are not amended, would you prefer to see them removed from this bill?
