Thank you, Madam Chair.
Madam Chair, in the two reports I mentioned in the motion are reports on the concerns of Sisters In Spirit, which is reporting on concerns that have already existed for 30 years, concerns of the aboriginal community. They are only reporting such concerns and are only reinforcing the demands by aboriginal communities for action. That is what those two reports are doing, because the government has not taken action.
I fail to understand what more can be learned from reading the reports. Because the reports relate the situation exactly as we know it, as was reported to us by Sisters In Spirit. For years, the past five years, during which they have been receiving funding from Status of Women Canada in order to be able to move forward with their concerns, Sisters In Spirit have been telling us what is happening.
It is time for action, Madam Chair. It is time for the government to take action and to respond to demands by the aboriginal communities. These demands are now supported by two independent organizations: Amnesty International and the United Nations Organization. They are asking for the same thing. They are saying that these women are right to be concerned, that an investigation and a national plan are essential, and that now is the time for action, not in six months or a year from now.
That's all, Madam Chair.
