Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank the hon. member for Vancouver East for her speech and for the work she does to help her constituents.
I lived in Vancouver in the 1980s and her speech reminded me of how I often walked down Main Street and East Hastings Street on Vancouver's east side. She provided a very apt description of how our society no longer sees these first nations men and women.
The hon. member for Churchill is calling for a public inquiry into the disappearance of these women to ensure that they never disappear from our minds and, especially, our hearts. It is very important.
I would like my colleague to elaborate on how we can make people remember these men and women, particularly, these aboriginal women.
