Thank you, Kevin.

The population in Winnipeg in terms of folks who declare their indigeneity would be between 15% and 25% of Winnipeggers. As Kevin mentioned, in the inner city and in the north end, that's much higher.

We would always welcome more safety and peacekeeping done by indigenous people in our community, and Bear Clan is doing it already. In terms of women-led, Mama Bear Clan in North Point Douglas is also a model and a sister organization to Kevin's organization, so that's happening as well.

Thank you.
