Mr. Speaker, violence against Inuit women and girls is 14 times higher than the national average.
Despite that, the Conservatives are spending less than 1% of their so-called action plan on this scourge. Rebecca Kudloo, president of Pauktuutit Inuit Women of Canada, said that these paltry sums are simply offensive and discriminatory. You know what, Mr. Speaker? She is quite right.
How can the Conservatives justify that their action plan completely ignores the pressing needs that exist in our northern communities?
