Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
I'm going to take my time, because I want to thank the witnesses, Jessica Savoy and Lisa Cooper, who are very interesting.
I'm a little shocked every time I speak on this issue. It boggles my mind that we're talking about a red dress alert in 2024. I can't believe that so many indigenous women and girls are victims of so much violence. It shocks me, but I'll get my act together.
I'll now ask you some questions, Ms. Savoy and Ms. Cooper. I invite both of you to answer the first one. To make it simple, let's say that Ms. Cooper can answer first.
I like to use international initiatives on a lot of things. We can learn from them and use them to prepare our reports here in committee.
Some states in the United States have already implemented this alert system for missing indigenous women and girls, including California, Colorado and Washington state, and there are various criteria for triggering an alert. For example, there's the number of days that have passed since a person disappeared and the belief that the person is in danger. My colleague Mrs. Vien raised the issue of criteria, but I'd like you to come back to that.
Have you looked at how the criteria have been established elsewhere in the world? I mentioned the United States, but if you know of any interesting initiatives in other countries, feel free to talk about them.
