I guess from a policing perspective the RCMP and the Winnipeg Police Service face this all the time, of course, when you have women and people travelling back and forth between jurisdictions. We've had instances where we've had people come to Winnipeg and they've simply vanished, and people from our rural communities of course come in and try to organize searches and whatever.
I think the secondments that we've placed at the Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs and the Manitoba Métis Federation, and our cultural diversity programs that we've placed in our Muslim communities and so forth, take away some of the confusion surrounding where a person might go to get advice from police when they do come in from a community and they have a problem, such as having been victimized on the reserve or in the community, and now they're in Winnipeg and they don't know where to report it.
I think other issues as well, as far as collaboration is concerned for various programs between police now, between Winnipeg and the RCMP, have helped, have assisted. Now, is it perfect? No, it's not perfect. I think there probably needs to be greater communication surrounding it for the people in communities. I know that when I speak with chiefs from across the country or across the province, we constantly talk about this overlap. It is a concern. I think the overlap we have and the representation we have within our first nations communities provide at least a conduit for people when they come in. But again, the communication aspect of it could be broader.
