Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
I'd like to thank both ministers for being with us today. I will address Mr. Miller first.
We know that there are still unacceptable human rights violations in the context of resource development. We hear this when our colleagues ask questions, and you yourself have confirmed this. As you said, this is certainly not in keeping with the very goals of reconciliation that the federal government is promoting and that it must achieve.
We have before us an important report that, as early as 2019, highlighted this and other issues. I would say that the focus of this committee's current study is directly related to calls for justice 13.4 and 13.5 of the final report of the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls. It contains important recommendations that the federal government must respond to.
Why does the problem of violence in the context of resource development persist, even though it was reported as early as 2015 as part of the national inquiry? Why has your government been slow to act? It has been known since 2015. What have been the obstacles to implementing the recommendations?
