Status of Women committee  The 23 departments are collaborating on an implementation plan with concrete timelines, etc., for the federal pathway. That's the first answer to your question. The guaranteed livable income has been identified as a priority by indigenous partners throughout all of their chapters and throughout the national action plan.

Status of Women committee  This is a question for our colleague at ESDC, so we'll take that back.

Status of Women committee  It varies. It can be between five and six years.

Status of Women committee  It depends on the initiatives.

Status of Women committee  In budget 2021, we invested $2.2 billion specifically to address the root causes of gender- and race-based violence against indigenous women, girls and 2S+.

Status of Women committee  I don't have the answers on the breakdown at my fingertips. Obviously there are 43 budget investments, but we can follow up with a written answer to your question. All of these are really to address the tragedy of missing and murdered indigenous women and girls and 2S+.

Status of Women committee  I don't have the entire spectrum of the northern investments; however, I know that there are some housing infrastructure investments through budget 2021. There are also, as you heard, shelters. There's also a northern focus for community-based prevention programs. Perhaps what I can do is take that question and give a more thorough response for the northern aspect of investments.

Status of Women committee  Thank you for raising the issue of the underlying causes of violence against indigenous women, girls and people of all gender identities. With respect to the response to the national inquiry, many things have been implemented. I mentioned investments and programs. Over 23 departments participated.

Status of Women committee  I'm very happy to clarify. The national action plan on MMIWG was launched on June 3, 2021. It is an indigenous-led national action plan. There are chapters that are included in this national action plan. Chapters include families and survivors. Indigenous families and survivors created their own action plan.

Status of Women committee  The national action plan was launched with indigenous partners and organizations, very broadly including provinces, territories and the federal government. The government is not waiting for these plans to be carried out. In this indigenous-led process, many of those chapters of indigenous partners are now developing their own implementation plan.

Status of Women committee  The 231 calls for justice are very broad-reaching. Calls for justice, as you know, are addressed to the federal government, provinces and territories. They're addressed to civil society and they're multi-faceted. For the underlying themes—and I'll come back to a question that was asked previously—what's important is the themes and the underlying root causes.

Status of Women committee  Thank you very much for your question. I'd like to add a few things. You raise an excellent point about housing. As you know, there has been a tremendous amount of investment in Inuit housing as well as housing for the Métis nation and for self-governing communities. Since 2018, better practices have emerged for managing these units.

Status of Women committee  Thank you very much. First, thank you for the opportunity to speak to you on a topic that is near and dear to my heart: ending gender- and race-based violence against indigenous women, girls and gender diverse peoples. I join you today from Gatineau, which is located on the beautiful unceded traditional territory of the Algonquin nation.
