Well first of all, three thank you's.... First of all, thank you for being with us this evening. Thank you for the work that you have done over the years, specifically on and directly related to indigenous people's fundamental rights, I think that work is important. And thank you for this testimony this evening.
Enough said about that part from me because I would rather hear from you, hear your words and your thoughts on this very dramatic issue that we are dealing with in this committee.
First of all, I know that you have done a lot of work on many aspects of the issues that we are dealing with. In your experiences—and I would say in the multiple positions you have held over the years—what do you see as being, I know there are many factors that contribute to the crisis that we're going through today, but what do you see as the biggest factors contributing to the crisis that we face regarding missing and murdered aboriginal women and girls?
