Then again, I'm really troubled by this concept of finding a balance between violence, essentially, and resource development. I really think that we need to have zero tolerance for violence against indigenous women and demand that of the resource sector. I think that's an important change that we need to make in our sector, but again, it's housing, it's resources, it's access to food security. Child care becomes a big issue. Every single area of a family's expenses and outgoing costs are impacted when resource industries come to town. They don't actually benefit the people who are on the lower end of the financial spectrum. They get bumped out and their housing situations get awful and then the family becomes destabilized.
