Status of Women committee  That comes from doing the investigation. That example I brought up was actually very simple, because I found a number for her. She had moved to a different jurisdiction, but I had access to their records. I called her up, and she said, “No. I don't even want to tell you, let alon

Status of Women committee  It absolutely makes sense to have a national-level alert system when the case calls for it. I think what I meant by it would be difficult to do nationally is if you were going to have one body looking at which case gets to go out and which case gets posted then the volume might b

Status of Women committee  In Sudbury we have approximately 1,500 people reported missing every year. As I said, the vast majority are resolved very quickly and without the need for media releases, without the need for alerts. Of those 1,500, slightly over half are indigenous women, generally speaking.

Status of Women committee  Absolutely, particularly in cases of human trafficking when we do have to be wary of what the individual who's trafficking may do if it's posted publicly. It is a balancing act sometimes.

Status of Women committee  If we're talking about the large-scale highest tier of alert that we're blasting out to the entire public, obviously we need to be involved in that so that at least we can backcheck the story behind the missing person. To give an example, I once got a complaint from a male who w

Status of Women committee  I've looked primarily at two different alert systems—I guess it's the term to use—within Canada in relation to missing youth. One is run by.... I'm blanking on the names of them, but they're both subscription-based alerts, and we can provide those to the committee later.

Status of Women committee  I think we should be able to put one out nationally when it's called for. However, I think we need to focus the alerts in areas where the investigation is leading us, because if we were to put one out nationally for every missing indigenous woman, the alert would be less effectiv

Status of Women committee  As policing is covered by the province, that's where a standardized protocol would have to be based. If you wanted all the services in Ontario, it would have to be Ontario. I don't see how a federal mandate would work.

Status of Women committee  To say that we don't know about the calls to justice...while I don't know the specific numbers—when she referenced 9.1 to 9.11, I can't cite those—we as a service, and I as an individual police officer, are deeply committed to building those relationships, and I have been through

Status of Women committee  I don't want to interrupt, but we're not getting any translation—or at least I'm not.

Status of Women committee  Absolutely, it's long-sustained destruction of that person.

Status of Women committee  Darrell, I'll leave that one to you.

Status of Women committee  A full range of services would obviously begin before we would have the need for this red dress alert. That comes from strengthening our child welfare laws in relation to protecting the at-risk youth from predators, as well as providing additional funding to the child welfare age

Status of Women committee  I like to say that we have a really good working relationship with the services around us, especially when it comes to missing indigenous people and females in particular. The closest relationship would be the OPP, which surrounds us. We also have the UCCM police on Manitoulin
