I'd like to give you each a minute or so to wrap up, but before we do that, I'd like to make a comment.
When we were doing the economic security of women, we were very careful that we took the whole envelope, and you are not the forgotten sisters. We have included the sisters of the north, and it was important for us to listen. At times you have seen our faces show, “Oh, my God.” It's a challenging situation, but you have proven to us that you are able. You have tenacity. Your ability to rise above these challenges is there and therefore there is hope.
What we would like to hear from you is how can we, as we move forward with this report, give that hope and ensure that hope comes to the remote communities.
I used to be an auditor with INAC, and I know how difficult it was when we did the buildings and why social housing was becoming so expensive or whatever. There are challenges and there will be challenges, Canada is vast. How can we move forward? Women find solutions. They look at the problems and say there is a challenge and let's move forward.
On that note, could you each give us something that we could put in our report that would help enhance the economic security of our sisters in the north.
Who would like to start?
