Thank you, Councillor Jack and former Chief Baird.
We really appreciate your coming, especially on short notice, given the time constrictions that have been applied to this very serious issue in this committee. We truly appreciate hearing from you.
Ms. Jack, I want to go back to the questioning from my colleague.
What is the reality in a community like Berens River? We're talking about this piece of legislation, and obviously there is a gap in terms of making sure that aboriginal women have their rights respected and acknowledged in the law.
What is the actual reality? Could you speak to the situation in terms of housing—perhaps how long the waiting list is—and in terms of policing and a women's shelter? I'll leave it at that for now.
