Thank you, Mr. Chair.
First, I'd like to thank all of our witnesses for participating and presenting at today's committee meeting, and I hope that they and their families are holding up well during this global pandemic.
I have one question, which I will address to Chief Picard and Madam Sioui.
According to the Native Women's Association of Canada, the COVID-19 pandemic may increase the risk of gender-based violence against indigenous women and children.
Can you explain how the $10 million for emergency shelters will be used to maintain a safe and healthy environment for indigenous women and children in need?
