Thank you, Mr. Chair.

There are a number of reasons why some communities are discriminated against.

On the website of the Civilian Review and Complaints Commission for the RCMP, we can see that the complaint form is available in 16 languages. The language barrier is certainly a form of discrimination. Only 13 of the 16 languages are Indigenous languages. Why is the complaint form not available in all Indigenous languages? How can an Indigenous person who is a victim of abuse or discrimination file a complaint if they cannot even access the form in their own language?
