Niki Ashton at the Status of Women Committee

I will speak more slowly.

Whereas it is the mandate of the committee to guide Status of Women Canada, which has the ability to direct other government agencies and departments;

Be it resolved that, given the legal mandate of Status of Women Canada “to support action...that will lead to equality across Canada”, the Committee call on the Government of Canada to launch a national public inquiry into missing and murdered Aboriginal women and girls in Canada, including an examination of police misconduct against Aboriginal women.

Thank you very much. I'd ask how much time I have left.
