Thank you.
We definitely need a national aboriginal victims service to be a mandate, and also a national public service announcement to educate and raise awareness of the dangers out there experienced by aboriginal women and children. That could also be a message to the perpetrators that we're not going to continue to tolerate these types of crimes.
I am truly honoured to be here today. I keep hearing from a lot of people from my community. The elders have been saying for years that we all need to work together, and I think they meant it's not just in our aboriginal communities; it's for everybody, every citizen of Canada to start working together. The fact that we're all here today means this can actually happen. All of you hold the power to possibly stop another daughter, mother, or whoever from being murdered or going missing.
Thank you.
