It's my turn to welcome you and to thank you for your presentation.
Chief Syrette, you mentioned the view that people in our communities have of the police. I think it's still true today. In my language, [Member speaks in Cree] means someone who takes you away and puts you away, and [Member speaks in Cree] means someone who arrests you. In our concepts and language, we still don't have the notion of service and protection. I guess we're still a long way from that.
You mentioned in your presentation the lack of reporting in communities by women. You said, “Our message to the women and girls of our communities, and to those around them, is to bring incidents or threats of violence to the attention of police.” I totally agree. It's a major preoccupation.
Above and beyond a national plan, what particular aspect should you insist on? Awareness? I've worked a lot in human rights education around the world. I think one aspect is awareness, and in that discussion, what about the men?
