Good morning, Minister Ambrose, Minister Nicholson and members of the committee.
As you know, the Standing Committee on the Status of Women has spent a lot of time studying violence against aboriginal women. We have had numerous discussions in the House about missing aboriginal women. We have often asked questions. And that is why you are here today. As the parliamentary secretary, I appreciate having this time with you so you can explain what the government is doing about this issue.
Minister Ambrose, in your opening remarks, you talked a lot about SWC projects targeting aboriginal women. What is the scope of these projects? The government is carrying out a number of pilot projects and programs as part of its SWC mission, initiatives involving violence against women and so forth. Could you please explain to the committee the various SWC programs that the government has put in place?
