First, thank you all for your moving testimony. It was great to hear all of you. I'm really sad that we're even in the situation that we have to invite you here to talk about this because of what the reality is out there.
We've touched on a lot of issues, and I want to bring this somewhere a bit different. I don't want to talk about the red dress alert today, even though everyone else has got great testimony out. I know we're going to end up doing the right thing. Especially in this committee, everybody is unanimous in supporting it.
I want to talk about mental health being a major factor at play here.
Dr. Olsen Harper, you also mentioned the fact that it starts in the home, and a lot of these homes have violence because of the intergenerational trauma.
Reconciliation is extremely important. One of the things reconciliation can do is help heal these people. I think healing is really the answer, and it's at the core of the answer of what needs to be done.
I would like to hear from you on what you think is needed for indigenous communities to heal.
