Thank you, Madam Chair.
I'd like to thank all of our witnesses for being here to answer some questions today.
I'm going to start with Ms. Pigeau.
You spoke about indigenous women, girls and gender-diverse people. You expressed some concerns with criminalizing coercive control. You also spoke about the different experience that indigenous women have had when dealing with the police. That's something we've heard many times at this committee.
I'm wondering if you can speak a little more to what particular recommendations you would make to our committee for us to put forward in this study on coercive control, in particular, with regard to the fact that when women sometimes go to the police or the authorities, their children may be taken away from them. That is also something we've heard from witnesses at this committee.
It is crazy that this happens in this day and age, and I'm wondering if you could speak a little to that and talk about what protections we can be recommending here to make sure that whatever it is we end up doing, doesn't negatively impact this community.
