Status of Women committee Thank you. Me, too. I'm furious. I understand. I've had enough. I have to say that a question was asked about how you could deal with this and get away from the silos. In Armstrong, Ontario, years ago when I was going up there for the corrections department, I formed something called a Comsac team, a community services advisory committee.

Status of Women committee Yes. I'm fortunate to have worked for the federal government, the provincial government, and now for the municipal government, and I certainly have to praise the provincial government. When I worked for that government in corrections up north, in Fort Hope and Lansdowne and many of these places we're talking about, we in corrections were all required as an obligation to take some native sensitivity courses to get rid of the racism that was going on.

Status of Women committee We've allowed these young aboriginal girls to grow up in a world that continuously places them at risk to any and all imaginable and unimaginable abuses. For many young aboriginal girls, teens, and women, the future is rife with discrimination, victimization, and murder. For a growing number of others, we can only guess at their fate because no one ever hears from them again.
