In Canada, aboriginal people were the first inhabitants. I especially don't want to get into victimization, but we have a debt toward the aboriginal people. That's undeniable. Depending how the statistics are prepared, they say that approximately 3% of the Canadian population is aboriginal. Showing a little more humanity toward that modest 3% of the Canadian population is a necessity.
It should not be forgotten that Canada's aboriginal women are the most vulnerable individuals. We therefore have a duty. We aren't creating special cases. We really have a duty of memory. We also have a duty to realize that this is a minor national scandal. In a country as developed as ours, aboriginal people too often live in third-world conditions.
Even if this doesn't necessarily make sense for everyone—in any case, it does for me—I really believe that we must not forget that these were the first peoples of Canada. These women, more than the others, need us. They need justice. They need us to help them get rid of this violence. When I think of them, I also think of their spouses and those in their circle. In my view, this is really a social duty.
