Thank you, Madam Chair.
I have to say that I very much like the idea of the government responding, because there has been a sense that we, as a nation, haven't responded adequately.
I'm a bit confused. The government itself has supported NWAC in doing research, so the government doesn't seem to be averse to receiving information and research. And certainly Amnesty International and the United Nations are eminently respectable bodies, and I'm quite sure the work they've done is quite legitimate and quite instructive. And I'm also quite sure that it's in response to a horrific situation that has been part of the tragedy that first nations women have faced over the last 20 years.
I would like to see that report, but I don't think that precludes our asking the government to take action to look at that report and respond to it. This very clearly is a national tragedy, and it's one we've been talking about for a number of years. I know that since I arrived here there has been a great deal of discussion about this. Discussion time is over. There needs to be a concrete action, and I would like to see that concrete action happen yesterday.
