Mr. Speaker, it is certainly not what NWAC's president said.
It is beyond offensive to hear the current government congratulate itself when so little money is going to victims and their families. We are talking about 600 missing and murdered first nations, Inuit and Métis women.
Does the government want to be tough on crime? Then fund Sisters in Spirit.
Does the government want to be tough on crime? Then call an inquiry so we can know why so many have gone missing.
That would be real justice, the type of justice we would give to any other group in this country.
Why the double standard?
