We work very closely with other departments in creating an environment that increases women's economic security. As I said, I spent most of my career working at ESDC on programming that supports increasing women's access to skilled trades, pilot programming in labour market initiatives, as well as youth programming. We've heard loud and clear the importance of economic security. We've done some consultations and work with our indigenous partners. We have an indigenous women's circle where we're heard very clearly as well...some of the responses to MMIWG will be tied to the economic security of women.
