Mr. Speaker, I was very saddened to learn this week of the death of my constituent, Sonia Ross of The Pas. Sonia was the second aboriginal woman to die violently in The Pas area in recent months, the first being Dorothy Martin who died on April 26.
While both of these matters are now before the courts, the apparent circumstances raise serious questions about the safety of women in situations of domestic violence.
People in my constituency want action to protect women. I urge members of this House to join me in pursuing this matter in the months to come.
