Thank you for the very relevant question. The answer is yes.
As you mentioned, the reality is that there is a lack of data to really measure the full extent and state of things. The government has a number of initiatives to collect data. You've probably heard about them. It's impossible to address the problem and fix it in a meaningful way without data to back it up.
Having said that, I've heard too much testimony, either personally or in the drafting of the report of the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls to say that these are just anecdotes. That's far from being the case. There is evidence of systemic violence, for all the reasons I mentioned in my opening remarks, and much more.
So in reality, it's measurable. It is a problem and it needs to be addressed.
