Thank you for your question.
It's such a great opportunity to talk about this.
Last week, on Wednesday, November 9, I was so happy to stand beside my provincial and territorial counterparts, from whom we got the go-ahead, I'll call it, after speaking for two days in Pictou, Nova Scotia, and launch our national action plan to end gender-based violence. It was an opportunity to speak with my counterparts, as each province is unique and each province is rare, with regard to what they're seeing and how gender-based violence is addressed, to hear and to listen.
At the beginning of that meeting, the first day, it was national indigenous leaders and representatives who were at the table. Here's what I'd like to tell you: All of us, to a person, sat in a circle. We heard from the national indigenous leaders and representatives about their struggles, their challenges and, frankly, how we've all helped. It was listening and it was learning. The two days after that, we did the same with provinces and territories.
