Mr. Speaker, today, women have gathered from across Canada to plead with the government to fund Sisters in Spirit. Sisters in Spirit brought hope to many communities facing unacceptably high rates of violence committed against aboriginal women.
Now the government is playing games with the funding and has left the organization in limbo. It had to let staff go and important projects have been put on hold.
As a gesture of basic decency, will the government commit to funding the important work of Sisters in Spirit?
