Thank you, Madam Chair.
I have a couple of questions.
Wanda, you said that very often women are killed by strangers, and you also said that your niece came into a shelter and she was called down. I'm assuming that you mean there were racial slurs. If we look at that and at the fact that first nations women are being killed by strangers rather than by intimate partners, what do you think that tells us? Is racism a serious issue in the communities we're talking about?
