Mr. Speaker, I want to thank the hon. member for Saint-Bruno—Saint-Hubert for her very important question.
A bill like this one goes hand in hand with prevention. The federal government needs to understand that it is responsible for the first nations, the Inuit and aboriginals.
It seems as though the Conservatives do not understand that it is their responsibility to provide services to these communities.
We need to provide them with greater access to culturally relevant education.
Providing preventive measures would mean fewer victims in the future. As I was saying, this has to go hand in hand with more funding for the victims. There will always be victims, but I think there could be fewer. I also think the government should focus its efforts on prevention.
