Thank you, Madam Chair.
My first question in the second round will be for Madam Brady with the Impact Assessment Agency.
The Assembly of First Nations explained that the data that was publicly available on missing and murdered indigenous women and girls was oversimplified and under-represented the scale of the issue, yet it still demonstrates a complex and pervasive pattern of violence against indigenous women and girls. In the committee's ongoing study, some witnesses have mentioned the lack of data with regard to the relationship between violence against indigenous women and girls and the resource development projects.
How does the IAA ensure that it is accurately assessing the impact of environmental projects, despite the clear lack of available data?
