Mr. Speaker, our government is committed to ending the ongoing national tragedy of missing and murdered indigenous women and girls.
The terms of reference of the inquiry make clear that the families should and must be at the centre. I have read the letter from the families. They are making heartfelt suggestions and asking important questions.
I am looking forward to hearing the commission's response. I was pleased to see last evening when Waneek Horn-Miller responded to say that the commission can do better.
Our government has also taken immediate action on the root causes, with investments in women's shelters, housing, education, and reforms to the child welfare system.
