As you know, Minister, this bill has been hailed as a significant component of the action plan for missing and murdered aboriginal women. From coast to coast to coast, we've heard from the families that they haven't had the support or the ability to navigate the system. Quite rightfully, many of them have had a distrust of authority stemming from colonization to racism, and other barriers. They don't feel comfortable in the system in complaining, so I think they require some special care.
I was concerned that the AFN felt there hadn't been sufficient consultation with indigenous stakeholders around this bill. Other than the online comments, I was wondering if you could let us know what consultations have occurred. Maybe you could table with this committee the list of consultations with indigenous stakeholders, including what you heard and how you think this bill deals with the concerns articulated in those consultations.
