Thank you very much.
I'd like to thank all of the witnesses.
My first question is for Ms. Saunders.
I'd just like to pick up a little bit on what you were saying about your experience. We often talk about the need to have indigenous women at the table in order to give voice, but your experience shows that just being at the table does not guarantee meaningful voice and meaningful participation. Often women end up—in your case and others—bullied and then vacating that space.
How do we make sure that indigenous women can be empowered so that they feel protected, so that there is actual agency and they can actually have meaningful participation when and if they do choose to participate and be at the table?
How do we do that, particularly as legislators? How do we ensure that this is happening when sometimes this is happening through private actors?
