Mr. Speaker, it is disappointing to hear of the government once again playing political games, this time repeatedly cutting funding to the Native Women's Association of Canada.
This is no surprise, given the lack of respect the government has shown toward first nations individuals in our country.
Could the minister tell us if these cuts are the result of the women's association's push for an inquiry into missing and murdered women and girls in our country, or is there some other rationale that the government can give us for these cuts?
