Terrific.
With regard to quantitative data, Melissa Aalhus from the Northern Health authority was regularly cited in the missing and murdered indigenous women and girls report with regard to sexual health impacts. She is cited in the report as suggesting that there is an “abundance of anecdotal evidence”. However, it was noted that there is a need for additional quantitative data to be collected.
Have there been efforts with Statistics Canada to ensure that the government is working to obtain additional quantitative data to properly address the topic of resource development and the violence against indigenous women and girls?
