As I mentioned—I wouldn't be going too far to say this—the bedrock of this ministry, 31% of all WAGE funding, goes to indigenous people, indigenous-led businesses, indigenous communities. Under my portfolio, we've invested $55 million over five years to bolster the capacity of indigenous women and 2SLGBTQIA+ people and organizations.
This is violence prevention programming. This is grassroots programming. This is programming that I've seen. This is young people getting back to the land and learning from elders. This is the revitalization of language. This is starting and being led by indigenous people but starting with the youngest people. This is looking at the root causes of violence.
I might mention the red dress alert, because Leah isn't here today and does such excellent work. As you mentioned, Winnipeg Centre is the epicentre of a lot of this. Leah is now sitting at a table. She is alongside Emergency Preparedness. She is alongside Crown-Indigenous Relations. She's alongside ISC. She's alongside many other ministries in understanding how we roll this out well and make sure that this happens in a way that is indigenous-led. Leah is sitting at that table and I'm glad she is.
There is a lot of work being done, Bonita. Is it all that needs to be done? Absolutely not, but on WAGE's part, I will again say that it is the bedrock.
