Our first recommendation is to provide core funding to Réseau des maisons d'hébergement pour femmes autochtones, our network of shelters for indigenous women. This would allow for training and information sharing among indigenous shelters, on a par with the Regroupement des maisons pour femmes victimes de violence conjugale and the Fédération des maisons d'hébergement pour femmes au Québec.
Our second recommendation is to expand shelter services to better reflect the needs, realities, culture and traditions of indigenous women experiencing domestic violence and spousal abuse.
Our third recommendation is to establish services for men who are violent or experiencing violence themselves. They need to be part of the healing process for indigenous nations.
Our fourth recommendation is to give communities additional human resources to address domestic violence and spousal abuse.
Our fifth recommendation is to develop interorganizational memoranda of understanding between indigenous and non-indigenous shelters and such partners as police, social service agencies, the youth protection branch and other relevant authorities.
Our sixth recommendation is to educate indigenous women on the legal system as it relates to domestic violence and spousal abuse, including legal guidance and assistance with complaints.
Our seventh recommendation is to make a range of tailored services available to indigenous women experiencing domestic violence and spousal abuse and thus ensure they have a safety net.
Our eighth recommendation is to allocate more financial resources to indigenous police forces for the purposes of training and female officer recruitment.
Our ninth recommendation is to allocate resources to specifically support the families of missing and murdered indigenous women.
Our 10th and final recommendation is to launch an awareness campaign to educate and support female seniors who experience violence in all forms.
There you have it. I don't think I've gone over my allotted time.
