Thank you, Madam Chair.
I want to welcome you again.
Minister, we have heard about the disappointment caused in response to the announcement in the budget of the funding allocated for implementing the red dress alert. The funding is spread out over time and is probably insufficient. As well, it has become an election promise, when it is needed now. I talked about this the last time I had the floor.
I would now like to focus on the officials and the experience they looked into, in the United States, in Washington or California.
I know that the Department of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness has done studies on the situation of indigenous women and girls.
Have you had an opportunity to look into the experiences and recommendations in earlier reports by other committees that might be relevant when it comes to the red dress alert?
Most importantly, have you made sure that those recommendations are going to be implemented as quickly as possible? We have to do it in memory of the missing or murdered women and girls.
