Mr. Speaker, on the week of International Women's Day, let us listen to the women and families calling for a national inquiry into missing and murdered aboriginal women, instead of changing the channel.
This year the theme of International Women's Day is “Engaging Men to End Violence against Women”. It reminds us that violence against women is not just a women's issue but a problem that affects all Canadians, and we must work together to put an end to it.
In that spirit, would the minister commit here, today, to taking real action by establishing a national action plan to end violence against women in Canada?
