Matna , Madam Chair.
I will be sharing my time with my colleague, MP Garrison.
The Black Caucus letter was signed by 26 members of the cabinet. It calls for the federal government to “eliminate the barriers to access to justice and public security for Black Canadians and indigenous people”.
Madam Chair, we already have a map. We just need this government to follow it. Calls to action and justice from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, from the report on murdered and missing indigenous women and girls, from the Qikiqtani Truth Commission, from Pauktuutit are clear and at least a start.
The ministers know this. I know this. We all know this. Why are we still being forced to wait to see action instead of just empty words?
