Status of Women committee  We have very little in the way of information, statistics or documentation on indigenous women and girls and economic development, the economy and so on. As I said earlier, funding should be provided in order to study and document the theme of indigenous women and natural resource development.

Status of Women committee  Measures are currently being introduced, although perhaps not to the extent we would like because, as I said earlier, much remains to be done. Certain things are being done, and some must be done upstream before access to certain funding comes to an end. You always have to be two steps ahead to ensure a response to the plan and recommendations and that measures are introduced in connection with the NIMMIWG report.

Status of Women committee  Initially, we had the NIMMIWG recommendations. There are various articles. A great deal of work definitely remains to be done to mitigate current trends in all areas where women suffer violence, in economic development and other fields. I won't name them because I think we're aware of all that.

Status of Women committee  As I mentioned, there's very little documentation on indigenous women and resource development. I think women have to have their own place in natural resource development. It's not just a matter of being able to hunt big game. That power was historically reserved for men and still is today.

Status of Women committee  Kuei, hello. Madam Chair, I would like to take a minute to inform you that I will have to leave you at 2:15 p.m. because I have another engagement at the United Nations. My colleague Stéfanie Sirois-Gauthier will finish the meeting with you. First of all, I would like to thank the members of this committee for affording Quebec Native Women, or QNW, the opportunity to discuss issues of concern arising from the violence, in all its forms, experienced by the indigenous women and girls of Quebec.
