Thank you.
Minister, in your presentation, you referred to aboriginal women who have disappeared or were assassinated. I know that in the 2010 budget, you had set aside $10 million over two years to look into the issue of the high number of aboriginal women who have disappeared or been murdered. I think this matter is of concern to every member of Parliament, and to all parties. Concrete measures were to be taken to see to it that law enforcement agencies and the justice system would meet the needs of aboriginal women and their families.
I see nothing in your additional funding requests concerning this specific point. We were all told these past few weeks by these agencies and groups that the amounts needed to try to come to grips with this problem would be much higher. I am trying to understand why this is not included in the additional funds that are being requested.
