Thank you, Mr. Chair.
As Ms. Galea mentioned, one in two people will experience mental health issues in their lifetime. If someone is not affected directly, it will be a person close to them, so I want to acknowledge the work of the witnesses. Unfortunately, I've experienced suicide in my own family, and as the mother of a two-year-old daughter, I am worried for her.
I want to acknowledge the work of organizations back home. I would like to thank Oasis santé mentale Granby et région, which does exceptional work with families. Every year, I make a point of going to their fundraising brunch to support them. It's taking place at the end of the month. Also, the Centre de prévention du suicide Haute-Yamaska Brome-Missisquoi is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year.
I began my career as an MP in 2019 with a speech that commemorated the 30‑year anniversary of the Polytechnique massacre, an act caused by misogyny, the hatred of women. I have also been a member of the Standing Committee on the Status of Women since February 2019. Every time this committee does a study, we see how women are affected in different and disproportionate ways. I find it hard to understand.
Ms. Fairbrother, you talked about the matter of indigenous women. The Standing Committee on the Status of Women is currently studying the creation of a red dress alert system in Canada. You talked about how indigenous parents experience mental health differently.
Could you tell us more about that?
