As I said earlier, it is everyone's business. By working together and raising awareness collectively, we will be able to provide a continuum of services for women from various nations.
I will not rehash past experiences, because I think we know now what indigenous women are facing, but I do think we need to review our approach to ensure that the future structure allows us to respond quickly and so we know who has to respond quickly.
I am concerned about how the structure will work at a more local level. I am referring to the nations of Quebec. Those are the first communities involved. That is where Indigenous women live. Indigenous women live in Quebec society. Implicitly, we need to involve all local stakeholders. The national system will be at a different level and will also have a role to play, but first we have to work at the local level because that is the foundation.
If we do not consult people locally, I think we could miss out on important information for establishing the red dress alert system.
