The community that's putting forward a promising practice has an evaluation that says this worked. The number of missing and murdered was reduced, or the support for families was increased.
My concern is like the parliamentary secretary's. The work of this committee is to fill in some gaps. We know we have to work in a holistic way, and I think we're concerned that when it's an FPT working group, the justice people from around the country and the public safety people are doing something else and the child welfare people are doing something else. At some point we have to be able to bring everybody together, because we know this isn't working across different government departments and across different jurisdictions. We're stuck. Clearly, we're not making progress if we don't even have the numbers.
Like the parliamentary secretary, I would like your advice.
We have all these root causes—the trafficking piece, young women fleeing abusive relationships in foster care—but I think there's also the discrimination and marginalization of indigenous women. Effective and unbiased policing and the culture of policing seem to be something the women talk to us about.
How would you go about this work, in that you're encyclopedic on everything that's been done already? How would you advise this committee to go forward?
