The association representing all 36 stand-alone First Nations police services in Canada is backing a human rights complaint alleging Ottawa's 'deliberate' underfunding of policing in their communities amounts to discrimination.

The Canada flag flies on top of the Peace Tower on Parliament Hill in Ottawa on Monday, March 6, 2023. Nine First Nations police service say Ottawa's "deliberate and wilful underfunding" of policing in their communities amounts to discrimination.

"What we feel is that all First Nation communities in Canada deserve the same public safety and security as every other Canadian takes for granted," Swamp said in an interview Monday. "As a result of Canada's discriminatory conduct, the establishment of equitable policing for Indigenous communities, comparable to the policing and safety the rest of the country experiences, remains out of reach for Indigenous people in Canada."

Indigenous Police Chiefs of Ontario president Kai Liu, who also leads the Treaty Three Police Service in northwestern Ontario, said Monday he believes a new funding formula is needed that is based on what a community actually needs, rather than a figure presented by Ottawa. Liu said he and other complainants are "simply echoing what the prime minister has declared, that they need to sit down and listen to what our community needs."
