Thank you so much, Chair.
It's so good to see both of you here today. I want to thank you for your work.
One thing that I along with advocates have been pushing for is to immediately put in place a red dress alert for indigenous women and girls and 2SLGBTQQIA+ who go missing, like the Amber Alert they have for children. Both of you brought up issues around systemic racism and policing, and issues of over-policing and under-policing. One of the suggestions that I and advocates have made is that it must be led, in terms of jurisdiction and who has control over it, by families of murdered and missing indigenous women and girls. These programs and systems are often put in place without our input.
Do you agree with me that a red dress alert would save lives? Do you agree with the need for it to be indigenous-led and indigenous-driven in terms of decisions on how it's executed?
I'll start with you, Madam Omeniho.
Can you please share that in maybe 30 seconds? Then I'll move to Madam McGuire-Cyrette.
