To take us back a little, there were six inquiries done in the past on missing and murdered aboriginal women. Sisters in Spirit resulted from those inquiries, as a research project to address some of the recommendations in some of those inquiries. I would think that's probably why you would see NWAC not specifically asking for another inquiry, because the thought is, if you've had six inquiries and Sisters in Spirit was a result, you don't just jump into another inquiry.
They've talked about investigations, they've talked about ideas on next steps, and we're listening very closely to them. It is five years, which comes to an end on March 31, and they have identified a lot of the root causes to the racialized and sexualized violence and have identified gaps within the justice system. There are specific projects that we will work with them on, including my direction to ensure that for those ongoing provincial investigations that exist right now, we will be able to provide an opportunity for NWAC to be at the table to be a part of those investigations, to ensure that the research and the knowledge they have is part of that investigative process.
In addition to that, there is a lot of talk on the database. I know the federal-provincial ministers' meeting had called for significant improvements in that.
I really have to stop at that point.
