For investigations and that, and yet, as I showed earlier, they're basing this thing on 18 and we have 45 women's names. Again, we know that it's much higher, but....
I would really like to see those 33 recommendations also applied to what is going on for the public inquiry. These were the families that came forward and said, “This is what we want.” It's ironic how it was all dismissed, and yet the RCMP gets $6.3 million.
I'm trying to look.... I have to be very diplomatic about it, which is a first for me, but I'm really trying to look at this. Instead of putting these moneys out--like with that $10 million--there are organizations here that need the money and they are the ones doing the front-line work out there. There are a lot of copycat organizations, like I said, that are building on the backs of the people down here. If I could recommend that....
I'd like to know what could be set in place for the families. I don't hear about anything other than offering victim services, which...it's really, really not a good relationship with a lot of the family members. Like Kelly was mentioning about the burials and all of that, why should the family members have to always keep fighting to bring their loved ones home. Why did it take so long for the family members to be given the remains? It was sad. I can second that.
I think we should all be treated as equal. I know that in my lifetime it's not going to happen, but I have to believe in possibilities too. I would just like to offer that as part of my comments.
