Madam Chair, this week is the midpoint for the 16 days of activism against gender-based violence, and it concludes on Friday, December 10, International Human Rights Day.
I am thinking today about the crisis of violence against indigenous women and girls in Canada and the underlying social, economic, cultural and colonial causes of the crisis. Could the minister please update the House on the national action plan and federal pathway on missing and murdered indigenous women and girls to take action, reduce violence and increase safety for indigenous women and girls?
