Thank you very much, Senator Audette.
You just talked about the importance of the land. Mrs. Brazeau, from the Regroupement des centres d’amitié autochtones du Québec, also stressed the importance of community involvement across the land, both in Quebec and elsewhere in Canada.
In fact, my fellow members of Parliament in the Abitibi‑Témiscamingue region are well aware of the number of employees who travel back and forth on resource development projects and the impact of this reality on indigenous women.
Mrs. Brazeau, you spoke briefly about what is happening in your friendship centres. How can these centres be part of the process and play an important role in preventing the exploitation of indigenous women?
