Thank you, Madam Chair. I welcome the witnesses.
First, tell me a bit about the database that you continue to maintain, the database created by Sisters In Spirit? This database serves as a major anchor for the current situation on missing women across Canada, and especially missing aboriginal women.
Just last week, another woman disappeared in Vancouver. It seems that this is an ongoing problem and will stay that way because we are not putting money in the right place. From listening to you today, it seems to me that things are straightforward. The government should just listen to you and then say what should be done and how it should be done. A number of organizations like you have already said that.
Could you first tell me about the database and its importance for the future? The second question is more specific. You raised various issues, such as prevention and protection, and you talked about the $10 million from the Conservative government. We don't seem to know where that money went. But it doesn't look like the money was used to help aboriginal women. So could you also tell me about that?
