Thank you so much, Chair.
I would like to thank all the witnesses for being here today.
I wanted to start off with Madam MacDougall.
You spoke about the need for a whole-of-government approach and the importance of having an intersectional approach. This is certainly something that I have been pretty vocal about. We don't have one-size-fits-all solutions, and we have to take histories into consideration as well.
In the introduction to the “Colour of Violence” report that you'll be releasing soon, it was identified that the lack of access to culturally safe spaces creates barriers in accessing support, particularly for Black, indigenous, newcomer, immigrant, refugee and racialized survivors.
I would agree with that, even in the city of Winnipeg. Could you expand on that, please?
